2023 HIAA Symposium
Register: HERE
March 2-4, 2023 | Rice University & Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
The 2023 Historians of Islamic Art Association (HIAA) symposium will take place in hybrid format from March 2-4, 2023. The symposium will bring together an international group of established and emerging scholars of Islamic art and architecture to present new research on the theme of “Expanding Contexts.”
As historians of Islamic art and architecture, we often deal with objects and edifices that are spatially and temporally removed from their contexts. Recent scholarship, however, has immensely expanded the definition of the context to include urban, sensory, perceptual, social, and global settings, to name a few trends.
“Expanding Contexts” is an invitation to explore the question of context in Islamic art and architecture from new methodological and theoretical perspectives.
Please join us at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (March 2 and 3) and Rice University (March 4) or online for a series of presentations, which will engage new conceptual models, strategies, and technologies for reconstructing, narrating, and visualizing the historical contexts.
