The master programme textile.art.design deepens the experimental and conceptual approach to textiles as a medium at the intersection of art, design, and society. The focus is on developing individual design languages, research-based projects, and the thoughtful application of both analog and digital technologies. Students acquire indepth knowledge of materials science, surface design, and spatial design, and implement their own research interests both theoretically and practically. Textiles are understood as a multifaceted, culturally shaped medium that connects historical and contemporary perspectives. The master project combines artistic or design practice with critical analysis, thus creating a solid profile for future-oriented work in art, design, and research.
