International Conference 2021
IDEAS AND MATERIALS: CULTURAL HYBRIDITY OF THE BALTIC AND OTHER REGIONS
The annual academic conference by the Doctoral Program at the Art Academy of Latvia will take place on June 16–17, 2021.
Highlighting the idea of cultural hybridity, this year the conference encourages reflection on the encounters and interactions, contradictions and collisions of artistic and cultural practices in the Baltic region from historical and contemporary perspectives. The multifaceted historical and geopolitical patterns of the region offer a variety of challenges to consider: the hybrid nature of stylistic, chronological, conceptual, social, political and affective dimensions of art and cultural practices, as well as the interlaced relations of their tangible and intangible components. Considering how the geographical and socio-political situation of the Baltic states might promote theoretical dependence on the West, the conference also aims to determine and delineate local strategies of knowledge production, as well as the possibilities to resist the impasse of intellectual colonialism.
The Conference is supported by Signet Bank.
The conference is organized within the framework of project No. 1.1.1.5/18/I/014 "Strengthening the research and innovative capacity of the Institute of Art History of the Art Academy of Latvia".
