Develop and redefine your art practice at the Royal College of Art. Contemporary Art Practice is a cutting-edge MA programme in the School of Arts & Humanities that blends theory and practice to form new ways of responding to the world. We provide a critical environment emphasising wider political issues and encouraging you to interrogate art production in relation to urgent socio-political contexts.
We support ambitious, research-driven artists specialising in critical, speculative and social art practices, moving image, performance, writing and techno-aesthetics. Our approach isn't limited by technology or materials. CAP students embrace any medium: images, installations, publications, and more.
Join an innovative, dynamic and responsive learning environment and develop new approaches to the thinking, making and exhibition of contemporary art.
