This module explores art as a means of engaging with cultural and ethical questions surrounding the “image" – its production and the contexts in which it is presented and experienced. Together we investigate how art can act as both a personal and cultural imaginative tool for re-narrativising: challenging the indexical authority often attributed to dominant historical and contemporary social narratives and opening space for more reflective storytelling along with re-sensitised modes of engagement and dialogue.

This is a project-based module exploring artistic research as a tool within your practice. Research strategies that support material and conceptual processes are investigated, with special attention given to methodology, ethics, and the activation of new knowledge.

PRO modules are designed to enrich your artist development (as explored in the ART modules) through activating skills, connecting communities of practice, and investigating disciplinary territories. PRO modules allow you to focus on a specific project critically connected to your own practice within a context established by the module leader(s).
