Global Britain: Decolonising Art's Histories
Day 1 of an annual two-day event for new international research looking at global Britain and decolonising art's histories. The @forarthistory Summer Symposium is a two-day annual event that highlights current postgraduate and early doctoral research from around the world. Join us online for Day 1 of Global Britain: Decolonising Art's Histories. Organised by the Association for Art History’s Doctoral and Early Career Research (DECR) Committee, this symposium seeks to further develop this debate by asking: how has culture shaped and been shaped by Britain’s colonial history, within the UK and across its empire? What is it about art specifically, with its experimental visual imagination and its speculative possibilities, that might contribute to the work of decolonising Britain? And what can the UK arts and higher education sector do to challenge entrenched structures?
