What drew you to the MA Arts Politics program?
Arts Politics is a extraordinary confluence of academia and arts practicum. You will notfind a better program that seeks to map the genealogy of expression in modern society while concurrently giving you the tools and institutional prowess to challenge the status-quo.
How did your experience in the program shape your work?
All of my current projects are direct descendants of the Arts Politics ethos. I am truly grateful for the program.
