TRANSNATIONAL LATIN AMERICAN ART: RESEARCH FORUM FOR EMERGING SCHOLARS

Transnational Latin American Art is a collaboration between The Permanent Seminar in Latin American Art (the University of Texas at Austin) and Meeting Margins (University of Essex and the University of the Arts London) and is designed to promote contacts and collaborative work between graduate students and emerging scholars.

Viewing the history of Latin American art in terms of reception, contact and collaboration is an emergent paradigm exemplified by recent exhibitions, publications, and research projects. An International Research Forum on Transnational Latin America aims to create opportunities for emerging researchers to join experienced scholars in interrogating this area of research and its implications.

Addressing art from 1950 to the present day, the forum concerns intra Latin American exchanges, as well as encounters between Latin America and Europe and the USA; it will explore contacts between individual artists and critics, the movements, groups and institutions and wider geopolitical and cultural contexts that have supported and provoked them, and the particular forms of art and its reception that transnational exchanges have generated.
