Transcultural Collaboration

Transcultural Collaboration is a unique international MA semester programme in the arts, and a cooperation between Shared Campus partner institutions in Asia and Europe. Students from all arts and design disciplines have the chance to explore different locations of the Shared Campus network, collaborating on experiments with open outcomes.

The programme takes place at different locations in Europe and in Asia. These locations serve as a base and common playground for joint research. Their different cultural and historical developments and living environments provide interesting insights and opportunities for reflection on a variety of topics such as value systems, politics, traditions and cultural hybridization, or power structures.

The main focus is on practice-based collaboration and teamwork between the participants in changing constellations. An annual semester topic and a related lecture series serve to focus debates and provide a framework for practical experimentation. The programme is complemented with additional inputs by guests, excursions, and workshops. The semester includes public presentations.
