| This studio-seminar introduces students to works of art and design that take up issues related to contemporary history and memory through diverse media. Open to students in either the Faculty of Art or Design, the course takes an interdisciplinary approach requiring students to prepare seminars, readings and short papers in conjunction with their self directed projects. Drawing on the themes of disaster, trauma and historical remembrance in contexts of war; poverty; HIV/AIDS; atomic weapons and many other issues, students will formulate questions of engagement: what are the challenges for artists and designers seeking to represent subject matter often thought difficult if not impossible to represent? |
