Ways of Seeing Conference 2022

Ways of Seeing, the Association for Art History’s annual one day conference for students and teachers will take place at the National Gallery on 19 November, 2022. The event is unique in its focus of bringing together students and teachers of History of Art and Art, Craft and Design.

For more than fifteen years Ways of Seeing has covered many different topics including propaganda, patronage, the body, sculpture, gender, nationality and, most recently, war. Following feedback from students and teachers at last year’s conference, the theme for this autumn will be Nature.
