What is the Study Tour?

The concept for the Mumbai Study Tour has been developed by Prof. Dr. Massimiliano Nuccio in the context of his research on regional and urban artistic production and development. The tour to this amazingly interesting city will be a closing event for the students who participated in a project seminar, which is offered in the Master's program Culture, Arts and Media  at the Leuphana University Lüneburg by Prof. Nuccio and Dr. Sacha Kagan. A further seminar will be offered by Prof. Nuccio and Prof. Beate Söntgen, owner of the chair of Arts History at the Leuphana.


What will we do in Mumbai?
The Study Tour will be accompanied by five researchers who are specialized in different art fields and cope with different aspects of cultural and artistic production. During our journey, we want to visit art-related institutions and talk to practitionners in the art and related fields. Our long-run aim is to analyse the nature and the impact of the artistic production on the socio-cultural development of cities. We would like to get close to the source of local creativity, to get where imaginaries are produced, to study the process of value creation, to track artistic projects and cultural products in their process of recognition within the local community, inside cultural organizations and outside them.

Why this Blog?
