The AGENART seminar on Queenship, Art and Material Culture is coordinated by members of the research project led by M. Cruz de Carlos Varona at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. The researchers of the group are dedicated to studying the agency of women of the Spanish branch of the House of Austria in artistic productions in the 16th and 17th centuries.

In accordance with the central study themes for the AGENART Project, the new edition of the virtual seminar has been organised with proposals focusing on Queenship, with particular interest in aspects of art and material culture. The seminar will be held entirely online. It offers international researchers a forum for training and debate. It is aimed in particular at young researchers at master's and doctoral level. The lectures will last one hour and will be followed by a discussion.

Languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish.
