CSA Event

This three-day symposium is devoted to a broad yet theoretically incisive exploration of visual culture, nation and art in contemporary India. In keeping with the Center’s mission we intend to make the immense diversity and depth of South Asian culture and historical experience integral parts of more general and theoretical debates in the humanities and the social sciences at Stanford and beyond.

Speakers include leading philosophers, art historians, historians, anthropologists and religious studies scholars as well as some practicing artists for what promises to be a broad interdisciplinary conversation on visual culture and modern art in India.

We expect this to contribute significantly to a broader and more truly global discussion of art, images and aesthetic regimes and conventions. We aim to demonstrate that the historical experience and visual culture in South Asia as a whole, and India more specifically, has a lot to offer the more general debate on aesthetics, visuality and modern art.
