In the History of Art, Who Is Left Out?

With Lilian Maus

Type: Creative Lab

In this theoretical and practical lab, materials from Art History archives will be presented that question the hegemonic discourses of art criticism, as well as case studies of criticism and creation by Afro-descendant women and Indigenous artists. Practical exercises inspired by the Atlas Mnemosyne of the German historian Aby Warburg will also be carried out.
