The Annual Symposium of Latin American Art at the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, brings together scholars and artists to share and discuss the multitude of perspectives that inform the artistic production and discourses of the region, as well as of U.S. Latinx art. The event takes place each spring and it is organized by the graduate students at the Institute, Professor Edward J. Sullivan, and invited partner institutions. With the support of the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA), this three-day series of panels also feature the presence of prominent keynote speakers who are shaping the understanding of Latin American art today.
The Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, Columbia University in the City of New York, and the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA) are pleased to announce the Seventh Annual Symposium of Latin American Art. “Making Space, Making Place: Marking the Americas” will be held on March 30, 31, and April 1, 2023. The Symposium will include keynote presentations by Dr. Adriana Zavala of Tufts University and Dr. Delia Cosentino of DePaul University.
