What will I learn?

This is a 15-month studio-based postgraduate programme for emerging artists who want to engage in meaningful and transformative ways with the most pressing ecological questions of our time.MA Art & Ecology is a unique programme that seeks to develop new ways in which contemporary art practice can make interventions in a wide range of ecological contexts to extend the ways of understanding how ecological challenges such as climate breakdown, pollution, and biodiversity loss are inseparable from questions of social justice.You will have your own shared studio space in South East London, access to the Art and Ecology Laboratory, alongside our world-class workshops (Artist Practice Areas).We encourage work in a broad range of eco-social contexts, from rural settings to ocean habitats, and from social movements, through resource chains and infrastructures to scientific institutions.You are invited to develop an innovative art project grounded in rigorous artistic research with a wide range of skills in writing, installation, and exhibition making as shown in the postgraduate Degree Show and on the programme’s digital platform The Journal of Art & Ecology.You will be supported in traditional media including painting, sculpture, printmaking, installation, performance, art writing, textiles, digital media, sound and video. We also support practices such as food production, gardening, sustainable data, microbiology, mycology, citizen and expert science, re-wilding, inter-species care, somatic practices and ritual.
