Restaureringskonst
Malmö: Att förvalta en dynamisk stad
Under det kommande läsåret tar kursen Restaureringskonst sig an stadens och stadsutvecklingens problemställningar, med blicken riktad mot kulturarvets roll i framtidens hållbara samhälle. Staden utgör en viktig referenspunkt, som definierar det gemensamma rummet, den lokala kulturen och det kollektiva minnet. Staden blir därmed en minnesbank, som genom gjorda erfarenheter kan generera lösningar för en hållbar framtid.

Ombyggnadskultur
Malmö: Stadsutveckling i omprövningens tid
Ombyggnadskultur undersöker och reflekterar kritiskt över hur efterkrigstidens arkitektur kan bidra till en hållbar framtid. Stadsutveckling är en komplex process, och snarare än linjär kan den ses som ett kluster av kreativa processer som förbinder oväntade punkter. Staden har historiskt sett växt fram ur platsen och haft en nära relation till det lokala klimatet och landskapet. Moderniteten och globaliseringen har i urbana miljöer distanserat människan från dessa förutsättningar. Ombyggnadskultur tillämpar restaureringskonstens analysmodeller i modifierad form på efterkrigstidens bebyggelse.

The continuation course Reconstructions: the Sylvia Wynter study group focuses on the advanced study of black feminist fugitivity and the forms and spatialities that are informed by the sociality, culture and creative practice emerging from within the African diaspora. The aim of this advanced course is to develop a deeper discussion, reflection and collective learning on advanced readings, with the purpose for participants to deepen and develop research questions and experiments that have been formulated in the previous year’s course of Reconstructions.
