Irit Rogoff, Professor of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London introduces and discusses the brand-new PhD programme ‘Advanced Practices’, within which Asymmetry is supporting a fully funded PhD Scholarship. Rogoff is one of the key initiators of the transdisciplinary field of Visual Cultures and founder of the department at Goldsmiths. An innovative thinker and avant-gardist, Rogoff has explored how critical perspectives and emergent subjectivities have informed the basis for understandings of the relations between subjects, places and spaces.

Beginning this year, the ‘Advanced Practices’ programme seeks to unfold new radical ways of thinking and reframing curatorial practice and other creative practices, establishing it as a field of research. Moreover, the programme aims to uncover a meeting point between sites of innovative research and investigation and the emergence of new creative languages. Asymmetry is honoured to extend an exciting academic opportunity to young professionals from the field of artistic practices in China in the form of a fully funded PhD Scholarship, starting in autumn 2021. This initiative fulfils Asymmetry’s mission to broaden the creative horizons for young Chinese art professionals, equipping them with the tools they require in order to develop and enrich their practice.
