But wait, there's more!

After a lunch break, we're holding our members' meeting. 🤝 Join us for some engaging discussions and networking opportunities.

📍 Erlangen, Kollegienhaus, Rm 0.011
⏰ Wed, Mar 13, 12:45–14:30pm

But we're not just talking heads! 🗣️ After the talks, we're opening the floor for a dynamic panel discussion where you can join in.

Let's make this conversation lively and inclusive!

Our speakers will share their experiences curating art across different periods, offering fresh perspectives and sparking discussions on how we interpret and showcase British and Irish art.

From historic masterpieces to contemporary works, we're discussing how art intersects with notions of nationhood, race, gender, and colonial legacies.

It's a vibrant tapestry of dialogue!

Our theme "Displaying British and Irish Art" couldn't be more timely.

We're tackling big questions about culture, heritage, and identity in the context of art curation.

The Congress for Art History @kunstgeschichte.org in Erlangen is approaching, and with it our FAHBI Panel "Displaying British and Irish Art: Images of the Nation, Place and Space"

⏰ Mar 13, 9:45–11:30am
