Language and Culture through Art: Crafting Collective Memory in the Hispanic World

Undergraduate

Taught in Spanish, this course enhances communication skills and media literacy through the experiential analysis of art. Students engage directly with objects at the Yale Art Gallery, using curatorial study to explore how gastronomy, music, and visual arts shape history and collective memory. These experiences are complemented by riveting readings, illuminating guest speakers, and creative projects designed to benefit the community. By promoting critical citizenship, the course prepares students to debate the role of art in Latin America and Spain. Through a remote exchange with students in Peru, participants master the academic Spanish and analytical tools necessary to thrive in a globalized society.
