ART of the MOOC: Activismo y Movimientos Sociales from Coursera

Este curso es para activistas, artistas y pensadores que deseen entender mejor el cambio social y participar en él. El contenido del curso enfoca en la coincidencia prolífica y emocionante entre el arte socialmente comprometido y prácticas culturales generadas por recientes movimientos sociales en todo el mundo. Más que evaluar la eficacia política de actividades como el luto, la escucha, la organización, el baile, o la fiesta, las conferencias examinan tales actividades culturales al lado y dentro de la práctica artística contemporánea.

El curso incluye presentaciones de importantes artistas, activistas y académicos invitados como: Rebecca Gomperts, Chido GoVera, Gulf Labor, Hans Haacke, Sharon Hayes, Jolene Rickard, Gregory Sholette, Joshua Wong, y muchos más. Diseñado por el artista y profesor de Duke, Pedro Lasch, e impartido con el director artístico de Creative Time, Nato Thompson, este curso invita a todos los que participan en él a tratar el MOOC en sí mismo como una forma social y artística. Esto sucede sobre todo a través de los componentes prácticos, proyectos producidos localmente, intercambios mundiales, y el comentario crítico.

No se requiere experiencia previa con el arte o el activismo, aunque los proyectos también incluyen buenas opciones para alumnos avanzados.

Según los participantes, este curso es una exploración profunda y estimulante de la intersección entre el arte socialmente comprometido y los movimientos sociales. Muchos destacan los conceptos innovadores presentados y la calidad de los ponentes invitados. Aunque los proyectos prácticos son vistos como una oportunidad creativa y liberadora, algunos señalan una falta de claridad en las instrucciones.
