PERF-420 Art, Performance, and Politics (3)


Students examine an array of cultural, expressive, and performance texts, and focus on aesthetic strategies and practices that various artists, activists, and politicians have developed and used to advance political claims and/or to enact social change. Students also investigate matters of form, content, and context to interrogate the ways that art, performance, and politics are inextricably linked. This investigation allows students to consider the aesthetic and political concerns raised by course materials and current/historical events. AU Core Habits of Mind: Creative-Aesthetic Inquiry.
