TWELVE SCHOLARSHIPS have become available to students of the new Transart Institute MFA Creative Practice program validated by the University of Plymouth. Two Developing Country Scholarships, four Achievement Scholarships and six Merit Scholarships will be awarded. The scholarships provide a reduction in tuition from 10 to 50%. More information on scholarships and payment plans can found on the Transart Institute website: http://www.transartinstitute.org/Admissions.html
TRANSART INSTITUTE offers an international low-residency MFA program for working artists in a highly individualized format. The innovative program consists of three intensive summer residencies with lectures, workshops, critiques, seminars, performances and exhibitions in Europe and two shorter winter residencies in New York. In the four semesters between residencies, students create their own course of study realizing individual art and research projects with the support of faculty and self-chosen artist mentors wherever they work and live.
THE MFA CREATIVE PRACTICE is geared towards the development of a sustainable artistic praxis rather than training in certain media or genres, challenging students to think conceptually and work creatively in new ways. Current students work with animation, curating, digital media, film, gaming, graphic design, installation, painting, performance, photography, robotics, sculpture, sound, text, video, virtual reality.

- Digital Storytelling: Community Empowerment (Ana Boa-Ventura, University of Texas – Austin) – Digital Storytelling: Re-Defining the Role of the Academic Library (Sherry Tuffin, Wayne State University) – Digital Storytelling: Purpose, Practice, and Potential (Jeff Watson, USC School of Cinematic Arts)
The Scholars ask questions such as: – What is digital storytelling and how is it different than non-digital storytelling? – Can mobile and ubiquitous computing change the game when it comes to who gets to tell stories and who doesn’t? How does it change storytelling itself? – How can librarians best archive and present digital stories and storytelling technologies? How are librarians both gatekeepers of stories, as well as storytellers? – How does an archive also produce a story? What does it mean for a librarian, museum curator, graphic artist, or blogger to be a storyteller?
We also have some amazing guest speakers lined up to visit the forum.
You are very warmly invited to join us: http://www.hastac.org/scholars
Anyone is welcome to register with HASTAC and join the conversation.
This is the last forum of 2009! Coming up in 2010: Forum on Race/Ethnicity/Diaspora, another forum on Gender/Sexuality/Queer media spaces. Many others are in the works. If you haven’t visited HASTAC recently, drop by for just a minute to see all of their amazing work. The Scholars this year are developing an amazing, thoughtful, diverse, and interesting community. It is incredibly inspiring.
