The 36th Annual Boston University Graduate Symposium in the History of Art & Architecture
Environment: Awareness, Exchange, and Impact
Symposium Dates: March 28, 2020
Conversations about the environment are a prominent and contentious aspect of life in the 21st century, but the environment has always been an omnipresent force. Serving both as a stage for human performance and as an active agent in shaping human actions, the environment permeates the consciousness and creative output of artists and architects, as well as influencing interactions with their works. The topic of “the Environment” serves as a nexus for discussions surrounding the natural, the man-made, the built, and the social, among others.
The Symposium will be held Saturday, March 28, 2020, with a keynote lecture by Dr. Christopher Heuer, Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Rochester, and graduate presentations in the Trustees Room of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
