M.A. in Curatorial Practice CHULALONGKORN UNIVERSITY
The Master of Arts in Curatorial Practice at Chulalongkorn University is a programme that promotes transdisciplinary methodology in the field of curating, embracing both visual and performing arts, as well as design. The programme brings together an international list of leading art professionals in curatorial practices to reflect on contemporary culture and creative expression in the art world.
The programme aims to equip curatorial practitioners with the interdisciplinary rigours necessary to develop a 21st century transnational mindset. Internships and curatorial discourse will be key components of this programme, in which candidates will have hands-on experience working with globally established curators within Asia and beyond.
The faculty benefits greatly from its location, with prominent cultural events happening within close proximity of our campus. Our MA in Curatorial Practice programme partners and collaborates with leading organisations and institutions, both locally and internationally.
