A public lecture series.
Modernity is often described as a mainly Western phenomenon, a notion that is increasingly contested by academic debates. The lecture series Global Modernities? takes up these discussions and examines the historiography of art as part of global modernization processes.
The lectures take place on Mondays from 6-8 pm at the Fridericianum.
The talks will be held in German or English.
No registration required.
