The Centre for Art History and Art Theory & The Humanities Research Centre at ANU are hosting a symposium: Nineteenth-century worlds of vision: 1820-1870s from 16-18 July 2023 and are currently issuing a call for papers that can be found, along with further details about the symposium, here: https://soad.cass.anu.
In sum, the event is gauged at curators, scholars and arts practitioners working on nineteenth-century visual culture: cartography; draughtsmanship; etching; engraving; lithography; mark-making; modes of illustrated publishing; photography; painting; printing; scrapbooking and album assemblage, and its related documentation of visual culture in journalism and literature. The symposium intends to bring together research which interrogates nineteenth-century visual worlds to include perspectives from The Global South and the colonial and ex-colonial world. It encourages papers which challenge traditional art historical understandings and genre silos.
The symposium will be welcoming Professor Geoffrey Bathen (Professor of Art at the University of Oxford) and Dr Julie Gough (Trawlwoolway artist and curator of Frist Nations Art and Culture at Tasmanian Museum and Gallery) as keynote speakers.
