11.30 - 17.40, Thursday 4 March 2010
Kenneth Clark Lecture Theatre, The Courtauld Institute of Art
Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 0RN
The 2010 Courtauld Institute of Art Postgraduate Symposium will provide an opportunity for third year PhD Students to present work-in-progress papers on their research projects. Speakers will engage with the theme of ‘Identities in Time’, discussing representational practices according to changing and evolving national, cultural, religious, artistic and gender identities through history. This theme reflects the concerns with identities running through much of the research represented, and varied material from different time periods will be discussed, stretching from fourteenth and fifteenth century mother of pearl carvings to contemporary portrait photography.
Speakers include: Clare Backhouse, Benedict Burbridge, Martina Caruso, Samantha Darell, Anna Marie Kirk, Michela Pittaluga, Per Rumberg, Maria Starkova-Vindman
Open to all, free admission
