Conference on "India in Global Contexts" at Yale University

Yale University Center for British Art organises a conference on ”Art, Agency, Empire: India in Global Contexts” to be held on 11 February 2012 in Connecticut, United States

The conference aims to gather graduate students and to work with asserting the existence of multiple forms of agency in India (artistic, cultural, political) from about 1600 to Independence and beyond. It will also focus on visual and cultural exchanges between India and the rest of the world, with a reference to the colonial period. 

The call for papers opened on 31 October 2011. Papers on visual materials, architecture and material culture, representations in media, and proposing interpretations that may engage with questions of agency, artistic identity, power, and politics are welcome. Travel funds for speakers are available upon application.
