Master in Design and Management of Cultural Spaces: developing artistic and museum proposals
Cultural spaces are not simply infrastructures where different artistic activities are housed and developed, but are places for social encounters and community expression.
Over time, these spaces have evolved to respond to the new needs and demands of visitors, which has led them to offer more innovative proposals that redefine the relationship between cultural institutions and the public. To do this, it is necessary to understand the cultural and emotional value of cultural spaces in order to create spaces with their own narrative that attract visitors and enrich their experience.
In the Master in Design and Management of Cultural Spaces offered by SHIFTA by Elisava in collaboration with Acciona Living & Culture, you will learn how to conceive and manage cultural projects, from strategic conceptualisation to execution, optimisation of resources and dissemination through different media. This master’s degree places special emphasis on the use of new technologies, sustainability, accessibility and inclusion, with the aim of offering innovative spaces that provide an immersive, interactive cultural experience focused on the new demands of visitors.
