All are welcome to join AHVA Emerita Professor Catherine M. Soussloff for our inaugural emeritus lecture on Friday, October 14, 2022 at 1 p.m. Her emeritus lecture, “Painting in Grey: Colour De-Figurations,” is drawn from a current book project on the ethical consequences for a history of art based on concepts of figura and practices of visual figuration.
Professor Soussloff retired in June 2021, at a time when due to pandemic restrictions we could not bring the community together to celebrate her contributions in person. Former students and AHVA colleagues, T’ai Smith, Daniela Montelongo, and Guadalupe Martinez will also present new research at this scholarly gathering to honour Soussloff.
