Conference - Home/Land: Women, Citizenship, Photographies
5-7 July 2012
The Design Centre, The School of The Arts, Loughborough University
http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/sota/HomeLand/HomeLands_homepage.html
This conference is the culmination of an International Network Project called ‘The Lens of Empowerment’, a partnership between The School of the Arts, Loughborough University; The Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, South Africa; the University of the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Western Canada; and the International Academy of Art Palestine. Each partner is contributing a conference session in which they will introduce women, citizenship and photographies in their homeland.
The conference has been designed as a single strand conference to ensure that all delegates will hear, respond to and discuss all papers. We hope that the wide range of presentations being delivered by international historians, theorists and practitioners will generate useful debates on our theme and the ways in which, by using and interpreting lens-based images, women engage with histories, geographies, and processes of representation related to home, land, homeland and home/land.
Full programme available for download from here (PDF).
Single day booking £30, full conference booking £80, student booking £70
