Overview

Key features

By uniting critical theories from the humanities and social sciences with studies in the history and theory of visual, design, performative and literary arts, students in the Global Arts and Cultures program investigate diverse forms of making and their entanglements with systems of power and resistance.

Rhode Island School of Design's program provides a strong foundation in social and cultural theory for artists, designers and architects, as well as students pursuing work in museums and galleries, creative industries, activism, policy making, entrepreneurship and academic research and teaching.

In acquiring new cultural and political literacies, students gain the capacity to speak to multiple audiences, intervene in current debates and navigate global systems.
