Program Description
Culture and Heritage in Practice: Andalusia, Spain brings together the practice of institutionalizing culture and heritage and the discourses around these representations in spaces endowed with rich histories of cultural confluences.
Students are immersed in Andalusia, Spain, where events in three distinct periods of history have fundamentally shaped the cultural tapestry of the region: the Ancient Period marked by Roman conquest, Islamic Rule, and the Christian Reconquest.
On this program, students will be challenged to think critically about cultural representation and examine representations as manifested in museum curations, architecture, statues, iconography of the Andalusian region via hands-on activities and visits to museums and cultural sites.
By visiting, Cordoba, Granada, and Sevilla, students will learn about the role of colonial legacies, power, and imaginations of the nation play in cultural curations.
This program is one week in duration, March 14-March 22
