Ancestral Troubles in Contemporary Art

Join us at the Art Students League of New York for this lecture by Claire Bishop (Professor of Art History, City University of New York).
About this Event

Bishop will discuss the resurgence of “ancestralism” among performance and visual artists whose works hark back to traditional, pre-colonial, or Indigenous forms of collective knowledge often in the form of ceremonies, rituals, and invocations.
