MRes Advanced Practices at Goldsmiths, University of London

The MRes in Advanced Practices responds to the growing importance of research within contemporary cultural production. Professionals and practitioners – be they artists, curators, choreographers, organisers, or others – engage in research and look for ways to circulate it widely. This 'research turn' has been a marked shift in recent years and is increasing in the wake of Covid-19 since audience numbers can no longer be a sole criterion for activity.
