Art History and Cultural Practices Research Seminar series

• How does the arts respond to traumatic events?
• What kinds of social care and solace can artworks and the culture institutions that commission and exhibit them offer?
• And how have artists and arts workers found their own pathways for respite and recovery from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic?
