Neighborhood and World: The Global and Local City
Presented by the University of Illinois at Chicago Art History Graduate Student Association
The Art History Graduate Student Association (AHGSA) at the University of Illinois at Chicago will host a graduate student symposium exploring the city as a physical and conceptual space of engagement between the ‘local’ and the ‘global’. The symposium aims to investigate changing critical perspectives on these historically and culturally contingent concepts. The city is a dynamic and complex place which enables opportunities and creates tensions between the neighborhood and the world. How is the local and global manifest in the built environment? How do artists represent and intervene in urban space to re-inscribe meaning? What role do art forms play in the construction of identities? AHGSA invites proposals for innovative and interdisciplinary scholarship that follow these and other lines of inquiry. We welcome submissions which address these issues in art, architecture and design from all periods and geographic regions.
