Program Overview

The MA Socially Engaged Art is a two year, Level 9, taught masters degree focusing on the dynamic relationship between socially engaged arts practice and pedagogy. This programme provides students with an opportunity to explore the fields of practice of socially engaged art. As a site for experimental learning and critical debate, the course attracts students from a range of disciplines who want to immerse themselves in a trans-disciplinary enquiry.

Socially engaged art practice is an artistic practice that requires a meaningful interaction with communities of place and/or interest and with broader social or political intentions at its core. It includes collaborative, community based, process based, public and dialogic practices that rely on social intercourse and exchange.

Course Content
The MA in Socially Engaged Art offers a range of engagements off campus. NCAD has established working relationships with a range of arts, community and education organisations nationally offering students the opportunity to immerse themselves in rich sites of learning. Another feature of the course is a field trip where students are exposed to a range of cultural and arts practices operating in a specific context.

FE teaching practice placements can be undertaken in ETB's, in Youthreach and other QQI-Fetac approved settings. NCAD has developed links with a range of FE providers and can assist in placement. Students are encouraged to link to the FE practitioners network and attend seminars and forums relevant to professional practice. Modules include; Adult and Community Education, Pedagogy and Practice, Spaces for Learning, Socially Engaged Art Practice, Curriculum Studies, teaching and learning and work based practicums.

The MA SEA is committed to staying connected to the national and international field of Socially Engaged Art and regularly engages with other organisations to further enhance the course programme. For example, we have hosted a Dublin screening of the Creative Time Summit for three years, partnering with Create, Fire Station Artists’ Studios and Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane. In 2015, we co developed the TransActions publication with The Stockyard Institute in Chicago (Issue 1 2015, Issue 2 2017).
