A series of lectures about color as a cultural phenomenon.
What affects our color perception and how?





Color is the most elusive aspect of visual culture and its systematization has been a subject of heated debate for a very long time, which can make color studies extremely frustrating. On the other hand there is an open interpretative field where it’s hard to stay indifferent. You probably wouldn’t know what to say about a certain color, but you will definitely react.
