| Date: April 2 – 4, 2009 Venue: Manchester, UK Manchester Metropolitan University. Within the discipline, areas of intersection may encompass: the descriptive, interrogative, ethical, pedagogical and critical elements of art historical practice. Between art history and its adjacent fields lie the margins, overlaps and divisions that notions of intersectionality are able to highlight. Interactions with visual processes and practitioners invoke social worlds, individuals, performative and public spaces. Intersections opens up room for a variety of critical engagements with, and creative responses to, traditional and new art histories. What are the issues and implications involved in locating and exploring the crossovers of visual and cultural histories and practices? How should historians of the visual consider the intersections between interpretative subjects and objects? By looking at the boundaries and meeting points of different histories of art, what new intersections emerge? What are the intersections between artistic and other aspects of visual culture, such as the popular? What are intersections between different artistic media?
