This symposium seeks to present a critical discussion by some of our alumni about art and visual culture in their life at Duke and around the world. What was the art world they came into, i.e. before Duke or as they were turning to the arts at Duke? What was the art world for them at Duke? After Duke, what changed in their art world and/or their participation in the arts?
As part of these reflections, we asked the speakers to focus on critical themes related to questions of justice and equity, and to discuss experiences/work/histories related to bias and the arts, environment and resources, art and the Anthropocene, digital accessibility and divides, globalization and de-colonization, patriarchy, and class inequality.
