About the event

A series of lectures dedicated to diverse phenomena in the history and theory of art. The material presented shows how artworks and artistic practices reflect changing cultural, social and political contexts. Topics will include restitution of artworks, transformations in the representation of the body, non-binary and queer artistic perspectives, and ethical dilemmas in museology. The whole series invites critical reflection on art history as a living, polyphonic field of interpretation and dialogue with the past.
