MA Art and Environment
MA Art and Environment
The MA Art and Environment (MA AE) was set up by the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts in 2020. Delivered across the islands of West Cork, in collaboration with Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre, the MA AE uniquely combines post-studio art practice, interdisciplinary research, virtual teaching, island studies and community engagement. Taking contemporary art’s relationship with environments – ecological, spatial, political, economic – as its object of study, the MA AE instructs students in artistic practice shaped by ‘archipelagic thinking’, and a pedagogy that is ‘world-centred’.
Located in the West Cork Archipelago, the programme is supported by a team of artists, lecturers, and researchers based in the Dublin School of Creative Arts (TU Dublin) and by an interdisciplinary, island-based and international, network of peers and colleagues. With its focus on environmental art practice and community art-related knowledge, the students are actively involved in contemporary culture as organisers, makers and commentators.
