2025 Terra Foundation for American Art Study Day
BORDERZONES: New Research and New Directions in the Art History of the Americas

 

Tuesday 24 June | 2-6pm in the Rose Garden Room, Worcester College, University of Oxford

 

The 2025 Terra Foundation for American Art Study Day, titled BORDERZONES, convenes a group of leading scholars to assess the current state of the field for American art history and to chart new directions for its future. Through individual research presentations and a collaborative roundtable discussion, the event will explore evolving definitions of “American art,” the critical frameworks that are expanding its scope, and the underrepresented histories that demand urgent scholarly attention. The theme of BORDERZONES underscores the intellectual challenges and pressing ethical stakes of reimagining visual culture in the Americas across cultural, political, and geographic divides.
