The Outsiders: Third Annual Berkeley/Stanford Graduate Art History Symposium

Please join us on Saturday, April 13 at SFMOMA for:

The Outsiders: The Third Annual Berkeley/Stanford Graduate Art History Symposium

What might “outsiders” teach us about the taught and the un-taught, the visible and the invisible? What alternatives exist to models of education and museum exhibition? How might writings about art confront methods of valuation and canonization (let alone complete repudiation)? And how does art history continue to redefine exclusion in and of marginalized communities and disciplines constituted by, for instance, markers of race, gender, sexuality, and ability? These questions and more provide the foundation for reconsidering art’s vast chronological and cultural boundaries and the objects, individuals, and events which seemingly lie outside them.

Now in its third year, the Berkeley/Stanford Symposium is a new annual gathering of emerging voices in the arts. Organized collaboratively by graduate students in Art History at both Stanford and UC Berkeley, the symposium is open to graduate students in all fields and young members of the wider community of visual culture, including artists, designers, museum professionals, and writers.

The keynote address, “Decolonizing Art History? Chicanx Studies and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz” will be delivered by Charlene Villaseñor Black, Professor of Art History at UCLA.

The full schedule of events can be found here.
