Kritika is a criticism workshop covering various arts and cultural practices, including literature, visual arts, multimedia, popular culture, theater, heritage preservation and cinema.
In this workshop, established art critics and talented young scholars gather to form an intellectual community. In line with contemporary critical practice, Kritika retains interdisciplinary ways of approaching artistic and cultural texts. This practice is enriched by the creative integration of concepts and approaches from diverse disciplines.
