MA Fashion Curation and Cultural Programming engages with the study of international fashion exhibition-making and related museological practices, ranging from the detailed investigation of objects to the processes and techniques of their display and dissemination through cultural and commercial interventions. 

The course centres on investigation into the practices and theories of fashion curation and cultural programming, through critical engagement with historic and contemporary examples and discourse, to reveal the diverse contexts driving the evolution of fashion museology.

To complement enquiry into fashion exhibition-making and cultural programming, you’ll examine the cultural value and interpretation of objects, fashion, textiles, and the body, through processes of research, archival discovery, practices of collecting and the classification of collections.

Fusing curatorial activities of collecting and exhibition design with cultural programming, the course promotes the concept of curation as a form of ‘storytelling’ in its broadest sense. You are encouraged to explore and value your positionality and to embrace the role of ‘curator’ or ‘cultural programmer’ as an activist - committed to co-curating with communities and moving beyond the walls of the gallery or museum to activate sites in the public realm.  

Teaching, and related assessments throughout the course, will support and encourage you to develop your own curatorial practice within this dynamic discipline.
