After an Art PhD: Diasporic Dialogues

—

Join Clare Chun-yu Liu and Deniz Sözen for the third in a series of four events, each exploring the work of two art research practitioners with related interests who have completed doctoral study in recent years, to examine the possibilities and challenges of practice after an art PhD.

Clare Chun-yu Liu will talk about her practice-based fine art research on cross-cultural historiography and her trajectory as an artist and researcher since completing her PhD, including her research branching out to art historical publishing, Postdoc and research fellowships abroad, her filmmaking practice and curating.

Deniz Sözen’s presentation will trace her journey as an artist-researcher undertaking a practice-based PhD. Sharing examples from her research, she will shed light on her career trajectory before and after the completion of her PhD, reflecting on some of the unique potentials and challenges of specialising in practice-based research.

The event will begin with a short grounding exercise. Refreshments will be available from 20 minutes before the start time. Clare Chun-yu Liu will attend in person; Deniz Sözen will attend online. The event is hosted by Jonathan Hoskins, Associate Researcher at the Exhibition Research Lab and organiser of this series.
