The philosophy and rationale of the graduate program is based on the principles of social justice, social empowerment, emancipation and collective action. In an era, like today, of growing uncertainty and social conflicts, new and urgent needs appear for creative social and artistic intervention, for new participatory research and design tools. The P.M.S. "Applied-Clinical Sociology and Art", through theoretical and laboratory training of students, aims to develop these new participatory tools oriented towards critical approach, creative solidarity, and artistic practice. Artistic practice is conceived through applied research and as an experiential process that highlights the visual object as an object of meeting people, and not as mere artistic skill.
