Event description

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Art Association of Australia and New Zealand (AAANZ), this year’s conference will encourage participants to explore the past, present, and possible futures of art history and arts practice in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

In advance of the main conference program, scheduled to take place at the Australian National University from Wednesday 4 to Friday 6 December, this online-only pre-conference event is intended to provide those who are unable to travel to Canberra with a forum to share and discuss their research. This is a free event and registration for the main conference is not required to attend.

The program will include speakers from across the region, from Auckland to Perth, and will be open to the broadest possible audience.
