Culture and Critique
Engage with the dynamic, controversial and revolutionary aspects of culture by questioning what you see and hear.
We live in a global world, but does that mean that all cultures are the same? Or are they as diverse and distinctive, as confusing and complex as the people and nations they represent? Investigate the ways in which culture shapes and is shaped by the context in which it is created. Develop your critical skills by investigating the assumptions that lie within cultural practices. Engage with the ways in which the arts reinforce or challenge social norms.
