Memory: Visual Culture Through Time

Course Description

The course offers an introduction to the different ideas that have underpinned visual culture and vocabularies through history. It employs a thematic interdisciplinary lens that encompasses artistic expression, design, popular culture, news, science, optic technologies and other visual manifestation of human modes of living. The course aims to foster the relevancy of human creativity beyond the typical classification of time and region. Instead, students are expected to use conceptual lenses to analyze comparative ideas, thus connecting the past to the present and the future.
