UCLA Art History Graduate Student Symposium: Killing Time: Temporality in Visual Culture
- to This is a past program
An art object can reconfigure how we conceptualize time and perceive ephemerality. Considering time as a method of inquiry offers a productive entry point for analyzing periodization, anachronicity, and visualizing time across heterogeneous spaces and cultures. At this year’s symposium, emerging scholars across disciplines address questions that arise from considerations of temporality. Keynote: Dylan Miner, director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University.
