The Working Class Students’ Department addresses the fact that the extent of cultural participation – including engagement with art and access to art education – is highly unevenly distributed and is determined primarily by one’s social background. We are concerned with how these relationships manifest themselves within the University of Applied Arts and what further social implications they have. The aim is to identify problems and take action through a wide variety of projects.
Department tasks
- Consciously introducing a ‘class’ perspective into university committees
- Implementing and supporting (student) projects focusing on ‘class’
To work in this department you should…
- Have an interest in the focus of the department
- Have a desire to change things
- Have enough time to implement projects or help students do so
