The Independent Studies Program (PEI) aims to explore the field of
artistic practices to foster critical professional activity in the field
of art and culture activity capable of innovating and experimenting in
both the institutional and the social space. By understanding art as the
product of a convergence of different systems, social fields, and areas of
knowledge (critical discourse, gender studies, new social movements,
economics, critical therapy, and so on), the Program intends to generate
ideas and conceptions that challenge the framework of the neo-liberal
technocracy.

Museum studies. The PEI is a museum studies program with an international
inclination. Based on the presumption that critical theory, education and
the museum are inseparable vectors, it sets out to investigate all three
fields. At a time when the institution has strengthened itself against the
typical attacks of the avant-garde and the practices of institutional
critique of the sixties and seventies, it now faces the need for
redefinition with respect to the hegemony of consumption as the dominant
thought in new cultural policies and industries since the eighties. In
this context, the PEI understands that it is necessary to reconsider the
meaning and significance of the museum as an institution that historically
emerges from the scholarly project of popular education.

Faced with the current proliferation of museums at the international level
whose effect is the hegemony of a notion of museum linked to the mass
entertainment industries, the PEI seeks to offer an alternative space
focused on notions of discourse and education from a multidisciplinary
perspective.

Program and subjects. The PEI structures art, art criticism, political
action, gender technology and economic and urban sciences in a program
that brings together the different discursive lines that have been
unfolding in the museum in recent years. Interconnected, mobile work
spaces and a wide variety of activities constitute the Program.

The PEI is a two-year long program divided into seven subject areas, and
includes a total of 480 hours divided between theoretical and practical
classes and seminars. There will be a monographic workshop every two weeks
in order to emphasize the continuity among the different disciplines.
