At Krea, we recognise the critical and creative potential of an education in Literature and the Arts for every domain of human activity. We understand the object of study within the programme broadly as creative human expression or expressive culture. The expressive arts (literary–visual–performative) have a profound ability to transform how humans connect and empathise with each other and with the world around them. Any form of artistic or literary engagement is enriching, inspiring, and intensely humanising.

In a world where the co-presence of humans, the environment, and technology implies new and complex forms of interdependence, Literature and the Arts can provide methodological and experiential tools for reimagining these relationships as part of everyday life, and in the face of environmental, social, and economic crises. Central to Krea’s vision is a student who is both sensitive to the contexts and histories of expressive cultures, and able to tease out the conceptual intersections and pathways criss-crossing the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. In a revolutionary dismantling of disciplinary thinking—in which Literature and the Arts are studied in silos—we affirm the vital interconnectedness of the two through the major.
