Beyond Borders: The Impact of Cultural Exchange in Art History

The University of Cambridge Graduate Student Conference in History of Art will be held on the
10th and 11h of May 2012

The conference will address cross-cultural influences within the various art disciplines over a far-reaching geographical and chronological spectrum. The aim of the conference is to provide, and promote, an interdisciplinary forum for scholars investigating issues that may include, but are not limited to:

  • museum studies: ownership of art and repatriation issues
  • artistic influences: appropriation of styles or motifs from other cultures
  • topography, travel, exploration, colonization
  • changing taste and collecting/patronage
  • cross-cultural influences as expressed in various media: architecture, painting, sculpture, film, print media, manuscripts, photography, fashion

Each presentation will be 20 minutes long with an additional 10 minutes reserved for questions and discussion. The sessions will be chaired by senior scholars within the University of Cambridge History of Art Department. We plan to pursue the possibility of publishing papers from the conference in a book of proceedings. Please email info@artconference2012.com for further information regarding the conference, or to submit a 300-word abstract and a CV of maximum one page in length by the 1st of December 2011.
