Ibero-American Art, Identity and Resistance

The UAAC-AAUC October Conference 2021 will host a panel on Ibero-American Art, Identity and Resistance. This panel aims to examine works by Ibero-American artists from the colonial period to contemporary times that debate migration and people’s movements across geographies. They are calling for contributions from a wide range of disciplines that engage with artistic practices in an Ibero-American context, including painting, performance, multimedia, art installation, and virtual reality (VR). We encourage submissions that debate how Ibero-American artists portray in their work the political and social aspects of cultural transfers resulting from people’s migration. Abstracts are due May 16, 2021.
