What drew you to the MA Arts Politics program?

The faculty. The focus on the individual's arts narrative and the opportunity to examine my own work from a variety of study areas.

How did your experience in the program shape your work?

I developed a greater awareness of myself as a global artist and was able to transition back to a home base through a sort of creative debrief about the years I had spent abroad.

What are some of the challenges and/or rewards of this program? 

I gained an invaluable perspective on critical reading, viewing, listening and speaking about the arts that I am now able to lean on as an educator in my own classrooms.
