The Course fosters the first specialization in Italy aimed at exploring visual cultures through an analytical grid made up of critical theory, philosophy and cultural studies. In the special setting of Brera, in contact with the artists and  based on a solid track record in theoretical know-how, the training of the critic, the manager of cultural events and the curator takes place. Every year a special funded didactic project takes places, involving all the School’s students and names from the art world, aimed at creating an exhibition curated by a selected group of students.
