"How Things Unfold in Many Conversations: Intertwining Race Relations Studies and Art History," 77th annual meeting of SECAC in Lexington, KY, from November 10–13, 2021.
The session is about the need for historical alternatives. It is a path that unfolds conversations with people who can contribute to shedding light on different aspects of the art history, pulling its threads to unwind them in many other things. Therefore, instead of asking where artists of color are, we want to analyze the circumstances that prevent their access to power within the area of knowledge of art. The proposal lies in self-analysis of the discipline. It depends on the conceptualization of its object, tools, and methods, to formulate a diversified model of analysis, associated with the need to change paradigms because the dominant mode of research does not fit the object/phenomenon of study. We are looking to discuss different perspectives, different understandings of artworks, and research methods. Keeping in mind that a race relations discussion in art history we long to have includes the racialization of all bodies, where all races are questioning dynamics of power and silences incorporated in the discipline. We are looking for composing rich and diverse panels, with researchers from different US's states and countries all around the world that are connected to the main perspective of our proposal: bringing art history and race relation studies in dialogue to the center of methodological, theoretical, and analytical approaches on the arts and culture. We are sending you this message to start spreading the open call for papers in good time.
