Visual Studies Stories

Ecologies of Cooperation is an interdisciplinary TriCo Philly course that explores how visual arts, the humanities, and cooperative organizing shape contemporary ecological thought and practice in an urban context.

"Visual Studies is currently offered in the Bi-Co as a minor program, but I wanted to expand my engagement with the discipline and pursue it as my main focus which led me to the independent major."

This course will explore the vibrant contemporary art world of the city of Philadelphia—a city uniquely positioned to attract artists with its many top-tier fine art schools, world-class museums, relatively affordable living and studio spaces, and thriving network of artist-run galleries and exhibition spaces.
