MA Fine Arts Postgraduate Symposium

The annual MA Fine Arts Postgraduate Symposium is a platform where candidates from the programme present their research practice together with keynote speakers from the visual arts community. The symposium foregrounds the entanglement of studio processes with theoretical and historical contexts in the development of every artist’s proposal.
