CFP: American Art in Dialogue with Africa and the African Diaspora
Type: Calls For Papers [View all]
Posted by: Smithsonian American Art Museum
Deadline: 01/30/13
Since the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade, Africa has played an important--albeit shifting, contested, and often unseen--role in the history of art of the United States. Conference organizers seek original, innovative scholarship investigating heretofore unexamined aspects of this transatlantic dialogue, from the visual culture of slavery and abolitionism to American modernism; from the Black Arts Movement to the contemporary art world. Papers engaging with a wide range of visual art media are welcome.
Paper proposals should be written in English and should include a 300- to 500-word abstract and a short c.v. They should be sent to AmericanArtSymposium@si.edu by January 30, 2013. For more information and submission guidelines, visit www.AmericanArt.si.edu/research/symposia/2013/terra/.
"American Art in Dialogue with Africa and the African Diaspora" is being organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum with funding from the Terra Foundation for American Art.
