History in Art Events

Visual Impetus XV 

27-28 January 2012 

Welcome to Visual Impetus! This is our annual symposium organized and run by graduate students in the Department of History in Art, and in 2012, the symposium will mark its fifteenth year. Our aim is to provide a valuable venue for graduate students in art history and related fields to share their research with other students, faculty, and the community, and to gain valuable critical feedback. 
 

Visual Impetus presentations reflect the global-mindedness and diversity of the department. Students present on a wide variety of topics and cultures including Asian/Southeast Asian, First Nations, Islamic, Byzantine, Mediterranean, Western European and North American as well as others. Student papers engage with art, architecture, film, new me-dia, and more, using a variety of theoretical approaches and including both contemporary and historical arts. 

As presenters we know how important it is to participate in these events and as organisers we know how much goes into the production of this weekend’s events. We have learned a great deal from both sides of Visual Impetus and it is our hope that this symposium will continue on for many more years. 
 

To the presenters and observers alike, we thank you for being part of this weekend and hope that you have an illuminating time.
