CFP: (Re)searching connections – Artists’ international social networks, 1750-1914 (Musea Brugge / Academia Belgica Rome – 30 Sept / 1 Oct 2025)

The conference ‘(Re)searching connections’ critically examines the formation and function of artists’ transnational social networks, while exploring new research avenues enabled by digital methodologies and approaches.

Embracing a broad chronological and geographical scope, we invite insights from the long nineteenth century and various contexts worldwide. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue across art history, sociology, and digital humanities, and by connecting diverse methodologies and findings across specializations, we aim to enrich our understanding of the transnational social connections that “make” art history.

Submission deadline: 15 February 2025
