POST is an interdisciplinary master’s specialization which is based on ideas of art in context. The program seeks to explore and examine how it is possible to study art today, while being simultaneously in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, a region with different borders characterised by a changing environment and a rich experience regarding the forced use and collapse of global ideologies. Taking into account the cultural, historical and geopolitical contexts and the artistic processes attached to them, the program is located in an environment of unique experiences.

MA POST can be perceived as an open study space for various ideas and experiments, moving along in the zigzagged relief of practice. The structure of this specialization consists of three blocks: Practice, Theory and Context, with tutors whose backgrounds cover the fields of poetry, philosophy, graphic design, painting, sculpture, music as well as many other art and theory forms—Kristaps Ancāns, Ieva Astahovska, Atis Jākabsons, Artis Ostups, Jānis Ozoliņš, Kaspars Groševs, Kārlis Vērdiņš, Armands Zelčs un Amanda Ziemele. Every two years, students from Latvia and abroad who have completed their bachelor’s degree and have a wide range of interests, skills, beliefs and an indistinct view of the purpose of life are invited to apply to the program.
