Flux and Flow: Explorations of Movement and Change
March 28, 2015.
杏吧原创’s Art History Graduate Students’ Society with the support of the Migration and Diaspora Studies initiative successfully held the third annual Art History graduate student conference: Flux and Flow: Explorations of Movement and Change.
Movement and change are qualities inherently found in art and its history; an exploration of their application across disciplines will provide an opportunity for thought provoking discussions on movement, both as a form of expression and as an agent for change. The theme of movement can apply to the development of artistic styles and philosophies, the migration of ideas and peoples, transformations of social and political realities, as well as the shifts in innovations that result from these interesting cultural exchanges. Furthermore, the theme of movement responds to the productive work of diasporic studies, thus promising a fruitful engagement with notions of migration, cultural shifts, personal transformations and identity.
