Art, Architecture + Art History
The Department of Art, Architecture + Art History is committed to shaping the next generation of artists, designers, critics and creative thinkers. Dedicated to exploring creative practices at the forefront of our disciplines, we believe that art not only mirrors the society in which it is produced, but also shapes it: we are most interested in art's potential to offer a critique of culture, and embody in the present that which is yet to become.
