The University of California, San Diego, Department of Visual Arts, in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), is honored to convene the inaugural Art History Graduate Symposium. This landmark event establishes a vital forum for scholarly exchange, assembling a North American cohort of emerging historians and practitioners to examine the evolving methodologies of visual culture. The symposium’s three thematic sessions–Aural Pleasures, Interstitial, and Passing On–provide a rigorous framework for investigating the intersections of sound, memory, and the ephemeral. By interrogating the "afterlives" of the archive and the "monstrosity" of the spirit, these proceedings seek to redefine the boundaries of how art mediates historical identity and ontological presence.

Step into the world of sixteenth-century portraiture and discover how women artists turned the human body into a powerful language. This engaging reception and talk by Bronwen Wilson will explore the poses and gestures in Renaissance portraits, revealing the inventive ways women - led by the trailblazing Sofinisba Anguissola - used "the mute eloquence of gesture" to make their paintings speak. In an era when portraiture was often dismissed as a mechanical skill suited to women perceived to lack imagination, these artists defied convention. They infused their sitters with personality, narrative, and emotion - proving that a glance, a hand, or the tilt of a head could speak volumes. Join us for an illuminating evening of art, history, and conversation inspired by the museum's fall exhibition, "Poetic Portraits: Identity and Allegory in 16th-Century Europe."
