Overview
About the programme
This crossing of boundaries raises issues of artistic encounter and exchange across cultures. It also challenges our thinking about reuse, appropriation and expropriation, or the one-sided removal of property, particularly as acts of colonisation. Art’s cross-global connections, and the rise of world economies also affects our understanding of collecting museums and display.
The Open University UK art, architecture and design historians seek to re-evaluate art history’s established methods and approaches in the light of emerging concerns across the wider humanities with processes of cultural encounter, movement and conflict. This Global and Cross Cultural Art research programme is offered at The Open University UK.
