Call for Papers: Central and Eastern European Artists in Interwar Metropolises

by · Published

For its conference to be held October 10–11, 2024, the Central European Research Institute for Art History (KEMKI), Budapest invites papers from researchers who explore the interaction between artistic production, emigration, and the urban space from aspects including but not limited to:

  • the impact of artists’ access to typical or atypical sources of funding on their artistic production abroad
  • emigration as export/import of cultural and social capital
  • the role of those who stay behind in the life and practice of the emigrant
  • artistic production as a tool to make an impact in the sending country or to advance the process of integration in the receiving country
  • relationship between the state and the individual based on sources produced by artists and authorities documenting legal or illegal/ “undesirable”/”undeserving” status and its consequences
  • perceptions of historiography on interwar emigration during successive political regimes

Proposals of around 300 words (references not included) for a 20-minute presentation and a short CV (no more than 200 words) should be sent to the organizers by April 30, 2024.
