ASSOCIATION FOR ART HISTORY | 2018 ANNUAL CONFERENCE, LONDON, 5-7 APRIL 2018

The close collaboration between the two institutions – involving numerous other museums and cultural partners in London – will set the tone for a conference oriented around ‘looking outwards’.

On one hand, we will be encouraging art historians and researchers to think about their disciplinary relationships with other affiliated subjects in the arts and humanities (as indeed beyond). On the other, we will be inviting new perspectives on international collaborations within the field (particularly important in the wake of recent political events…).

We aim to incorporate an ambitious range of perspectives – from university academics and doctoral researchers, to educators, curators, heritage partners, and not least artists themselves. We hope to deliver an event with the widest possible remit and reach.

Academic Sessions
The 2018 Annual Conference will host 40 academic sessions, over 3 days (approx. 13/14 sessions each day). Each one-day session will generally consist of between 4 – 8 papers (minimum 4, maximum 8); papers are usually 25-minutes, presented in 35-minute slots to allow for questions and movement between sessions. We will also accommodate alternative session formats – such as world-cafe, round-table or open discussions.

Sessions will respond to the idea of ‘looking outwards’ by engaging with art history and visual culture in the broadest sense. You can view and download the 2018 academic sessions and abstracts (pdf).

Our Annual Conference is run as a sustainable, non-profit-making event. Conference fees are kept as low as possible to cover event costs based on the average per delegate overhead cost which is determined by the venue’s conference office. There is not a specific speaker or convenor ticket, instead attendees should chose the ticket that applies to them. For example, if you are a speaker and a student, opt for the student ticket. Similarly, there are no single day tickets for students and concessions, instead we offer a subsidised 3 day rate for £100 which we feel offers greater value for money.
