Beyond Boundaries: Seeing Art History from the Caribbean| 04:00PM / Tuesday, October 18, 2022 | |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, Oct. 20, and Friday, Oct. 21, the Research and Academic Program at the Clark Art Institute hosts a Clark Conference, Beyond Boundaries: Seeing Art History from the Caribbean.
The conference begins at 9 am in the Clark's auditorium. The program is free and open to the public.
Included in a press release: Why has art history—a discipline often defined by its relationship with shifting terrains of theoretical critique and analysis—been slow to engage with Caribbean writers and thinkers, to take seriously their multidisciplinary, multi-theoretical, and multi-lingual voices? This conference asks what a deep engagement with the nuances of Caribbean intellectual thought could mean for art history.
