Studieprofiel Master Photography & Society
Photography & Society is a brand new, two-year master programme offered at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) since September 2018. The Master’s programme Photography & Society at the KABK educates socially-engaged photographers of the 21st century, who possess an active interest in the technological, political, environmental and social role of the photograph.
The core of Photography & Society is image-making, at the same time the programme will challenge you to foster encounters beyond photographic practice and utilize photography as a means to take part in global debate. We enable you to mediate the relationship between image and society. These transformational demands can only be met if photographers are educated in how photographs are created, presented, discussed, used, and documented.
As a Photography & Society student you are educated to master the full distribution chain, seamlessly moving from concept to making work and its presentation in various, often novel, forms.
