The Brown University Department of the History of Art & Architecture is pleased to invite you to our upcoming symposium, “Futures of the Past: New Perspectives on the Art of the Pre-Modern World” on December 6th, 2024.
This day-long event will reflect on the state of the field in the study of pre-modern art and architectural history (before 1500) across all geographic regions. Selected because of their substantial contributions to the field over the years, including fulfilling leadership roles at prestigious art and architectural history programs and professional organizations, our distinguished speakers will highlight and synthesize the states of their respective fields as well as debate future directions in pre-modern art and architectural historical scholarship.
We ask attendees to please fill out separate registration forms for the morning and afternoon sessions. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend both sessions.
