Selfie Culture Symposium – November 23

We’re happy to announce the Selfie Culture Sympoium

Selfies are ubiquitous, in daily life and in art. Artistic forms of self-representation exist throughout history. They changed in the digital age with its online distribution forms. How did artistic-self representation develop in art history? How do traditional forms evolve in the digital age? The symposium SELFIE CULTURE examines the history of artistic self-representation as well as contemporary artistic practice. It gathers art historians and artists as speakers and invites curators, artists and scholars to participate.
