“Decolonizing Art History: Thoughts, Questions, Provocations”
April 11, 2026, 1 PM EDT
via Zoom, Registration Required
Abstract: Calls to decolonize art history have become frequent over the last ten years. We have witnessed demands to decolonize museums, the tearing down of racist monuments, and calls to return stolen artworks. What does it mean at this moment to decolonize art history? This talk addresses this challenging question from my perspective as art historian and ethnic studies scholar.
