We invite 300-word proposals for 20-minute lectures on the theme of

wide range of historical and contemporary topics on the placement and
displacement of artists, identities, artworks, texts, collections, and
cultures. "Location" is broadly defined as geographic, temporal, racial,
sexual, virtual, invented, or actual. We welcome proposals from historians
and theorists of early modern, modern, and contemporary art of Europe, Asia,
Africa, and the Americas with research interests in architecture, design,
visual culture, and cross-disciplinary studies.
