Critical Visions
The Critical Visions Certificate Program is a joint endeavor between faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) and College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati. The cross-college curriculum teaches students how to effectively combine critical theory and social analysis with art, media, and design practice and has two primary goals:
Increase students' understanding of what is at stake in how we see, including the social and political ramifications of advertising, art, media, popular culture and science, among other dominant and subversive visual forms and visualizing practices.
Develop new artistic, media or design forms and practices that will intervene in dominant ways of seeing and explaining the world.
