UNRULY VISIONS: ART, ACTIVISM AND INTERSECTIONALITY IN EAST ASIA
Lecture Theatre, Faculty of History
University of Oxford, UK
5–6 December 2024
In recent years, the intersection of gender, art and activism has emerged as a dynamic field of enquiry, providing a platform for critical discussions on the complexities of social justice and equality. Unruly Visions: Art, Activism and Intersectionality in East Asia aims to explore and unpack the multifaceted dimensions of this intersection in the East Asian context, in particular, China, Japan and Korea. By adopting a translocal perspective, the conference seeks to bridge shared intersectional conditions across East Asia while acknowledging the importance of context-specific histories that shape the experiences of diverse communities.
The conference is generously supported by Japan House London, the National Center for Art Research Japan, the Center for Interdisciplinary Scientific Awareness and Research (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology), The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH), the Ruskin School of Art, the Association for Art History and St Catherine's College.
