This event is one in a series of 15 BAN supported seminars for 2022.
A collaborative curatorial workshop on curating eighteenth-century women artists in British and Australian collections
‘Enlightened women: British women artists in the eighteenth century’ is a collaborative curatorial workshop comprising of a keynote address and a series of short form papers in the morning followed by a workshop in the afternoon. The aim of the workshop is to devise a curatorial rational for a hypothetical exhibition about women and visual culture in Britain during the eighteenth century. As a group, we will agree on our expected outcomes and share our ideas and results at the close of the day. This hypothetical exhibition would draw material from collections in the UK and Australia and an Australian iteration will be held at The Australian National University in October. There is also the opportunity to bring both groups together online in November. It is anticipated that proceedings from the seminar series will be published electronically and that all papers may be included subject to permission.
This event is open to academics, scholars, curators and arts workers with a specific interest in eighteenth-century studies.
