Call for papers: “Letting it Burn: Art Worlds Ablaze”
The 7th Annual Symposium of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Art Student Graduate Organization, hosted virtually, September 17-18, 2021
Welcome graduate students! Join us to learn more about Art & Art History faculty, staff, resources, and facilities.
For the seventh annual ASGO symposium, “Letting it Burn: Art Worlds Ablaze,” we’ve invited participants to think about fires literally and figuratively: from the devastating loss of cultural heritage at the hands of flames, to recent calls from classicists and anthropologists to let their disciplines burn.
Associate Professor Lamia Balafrej specializes in the arts of the medieval and early modern Islamic world with particular interests in the intersected histories of labor, technology, materiality, and representation.
In such an internationally-connected—even globally-connected—cultural and financial center as Augsburg in the early sixteenth century, what is the importance of the sense of place and locality generated by its citizens and artists, and what might we learn by drilling down to the street-level of activity and interaction taking place there?
Please join us in celebrating the achievements of our outstanding students in the Department of Art and Art History! Each student will be giving a brief presentation of their Honors work in the past year. Refreshments will be served.
Matters of Art: Materiality, Functionality, and the Agency of Art Objects Call for Papers: we invite abstracts of no more than 300 words for 20-minute paper presentations. Please submit your abstract and CV 5 PM EDT Sunday, July, 3, 2022
