Symposium: Visualizing Ancient Histories
- Date
- Thursday 14 November 2024 - Friday 15 November 2024
- Location
- Various buildings around the Humanities campus
The Visualizing Ancient Histories symposium examines how visual media shapes the understanding of the past and its relationship to the present. It explores the ways in which different forms of media like painting, sculpture, inscription, theater, music, or comic books, have been used to craft authoritative visions of the ancient past in both premodern and contemporary South and Southeast Asia. The symposium brings together scholars from a range of disciplines, artists, and curators, to generate new understandings of history-making and the role of visual media in it.
The entire program can be found on the project website.
