Courses

Courses in Cultural Agents identify and reflect on the arts as social resources. Stubborn problems can sometimes yield to artful interventions, even when conventional means fail. Art's signature activity is to interrupt deadening habit and to innovate despite constraints and limitations. Therefore, investigation and critique are first stages of Cultural Agents research; but effective responses through performative, literary, and interpretive arts are the focus. Among the philosophical anchors for Cultural Agents courses are Friedrich Schiller and Antonio Gramsci. Many of our courses feature activities based learning with mentors throughout the Boston area and beyond.
