Are you an artist or designer working on social-political topics and do you need more time for your practice-based research? Are you just starting or are you planning to apply for a practice-based PhD in the arts?  Do you need a nurturing research environment with critical but caring peers and tutors? Do you want to improve your writing, theoretical framework and artistic methodologies? Are you in search for the right formats and contexts to share your research experiments and doubts? Are you ready to dedicate yourself to an intense and intensive artistic research period? Then this program might be something for you! 

This advanced master program focuses on the research development of artists and designers whose practice is anchored in a social-political context (including but not limited to feminism, social design, migration, decolonialism, class politics, queer politics, disability politics, capitalism, identity, Anthropocene, the (under)commons, community art, conflict & design, healing & rituals, history, big data…).

The concrete program is developed in accordance with the specific research proposals, interests and needs of the participants. We offer intense coaching in writing, critical studies and research methodologies in arts and design. The coaching is individual, collective and participatory. There is a strong focus on sharing research.

Collective learning and participatory coaching is central to the program; it comes with the engagement of each participant to care for each other’s research development and well-being. We offer a nurturing research environment of dedicated and experienced tutors, researchers and PhD students as well as an international network of professionals, institutions and guest lecturers.

We work with a small team of maximum twelve students.
