Opening of exhibition: What is Critical Urbanisms

Master program Critical Urbanisms

"Our work starts from the premise that the world’s urban and environmental challenges call for new ways of doing as well as new ways of thinking. Imagining alternative urban futures means rethinking the present—its historical making, its political unfolding, and the ways in which it is made sensible. Our work expands the study of the urban by examining urban struggles and futures in relation to the legacies of empire and to alternative practices of world-making and knowledge production."

The program Critical Urbanisms is pleased to present its first exhibition of ongoing work by Master's as well as more advanced researchers.

The Master in Critical Urbanisms is an English-taught, four-semester program that qualifies students in interdisciplinary urban research combining methods from the humanities and social sciences with creative practice and visual representation. Drawing from the disciplines of architecture, geography, history, sociology, political science, and anthropology, the curriculum provides students with practical and theoretical competencies to address the complex challenges of urbanization in the twenty-first century.

The exhibition will be on display from 16 March to 3 April 2020, Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm
