“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” Andy Warhol.
In a time of social and financial turmoil there are productive prospects for cultural and spiritual development. Such a turmoilis what plagues our country at present. Therefore, this might be a worthychance for people to reflect on how to actually change things. Changing things might not merely mean changing things in their materialistic or utilitarianaspects. It might entail a change that is profound and beyond-the-established. Looking at things from a different perspective, re-creating reality, practising creativity and having great visions for the future is a start to changing things. These traits are an artist’s privilege.
At the Department of Fine Art we support and encourage change through means of vision, passion, imagination, challenge and audaciousness.

Our students’ exhibitions, events and activities are a proof of their contribution to change.
