The MFA curriculum provided by the project (designed by African practitioners: Abiti Nelson from Uganda, Tatiana Page from South Africa, and Rebecca Corey from Tanzania), encourages experimentation with new ways of collecting, researching, mediating, and engaging society. The curriculum is designed to be useful and use-able by institutions across the continent.
Workshops
The curriculum is supported by a number of facilitated workshops - including materials developed by our collaborative partners that could help inspire or guide workshops on the theme of 1) alternative modalities, 2) digitisation in museums and 3) networks and partnerships and 4) documentation.
