Behna Study Program
This is a participatory learning program in the arts, seeking to provide alternative learning curricula for the arts, grounded in research and in engaging with and discussing artistic practices. This takes place through extended sessions with experts and trainers for groups of participants, as well as recommending a large number of readings and exercises, highlighting them through research and discussion in live sessions.
The study program's sectors extend across its four fields through an introductory phase, followed by a theoretical and training phase, and then a final production phase. The program consists of four independent artistic sectors: the Music Sector, the Writing and Translation Sector, the Visual Arts Sector, and the Film Studies Sector.
