The Permea Master’s Degree kicks off, an experimental program of mediation and education through art
On October 17, the first edition of the PERMEA Master’s Degree was inaugurated, a degree of the Consortium of Museums of the Valencian Community, launched in collaboration with the University of Valencia and with our support.
It is a training program that addresses in a holistic and experimental way the knowledge involved in the creation of artistic mediation projects from a critical, generative and empowering perspective, being the first training initiative in education and museums that arises from a cultural institution in the Spanish State and that has such a specialized character. Directed by Ester Alba and Clara Boj, the pedagogical committee is made up of Clara Boj (artist and professor of Fine Arts), María Acaso (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía), Yoeri Meessen (Witt-Rotterdam) and Ramón Parramón (curator ACVIC).
Through the different subjects of the study program, students will be offered tools to carry out mediation and education processes through art in a reflective and investigative way, but also projectual and grounded in concrete realities. The programme also has a module dedicated to carrying out internships in any of the centres attached to the CMCV or in any other proposed by the student and another for the completion of the Master’s Degree Final Project, in which students must personally and autonomously develop a real project in the field of mediation and education through art.
The Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation supports the project through the financing of three seminars open to anyone interested in the subject, not only for Master’s students; an accompanying evaluation in audiovisual format and research actions that allow the program to continue improving in the long term.
