Symposium flyer

Adrienne Rooney, Department of Art History Ph.D. candidate, will be presenting in the free virtual symposium, consent not to be a single being: Worlding Through the Caribbean, sponsored by the Hyundai Tate Research Center taking place next month from December 1-3, 2021.

The symposium aims to explore global histories of art and contemporary public cultures through the lens of Caribbean thought and seminal Caribbean thinkers like Édouard Glissant and Sylvia Wynter. The five panels spanning across three days will focus in particular on how these thinkers could "enable new worldings, new decolonial and reparative modes of understanding global art histories, artistic practices and public cultures more generally."

Adrienne will present in the second panel, "Counter Histories," on December 2nd from 3:30pm-5:00pm GMT.
