Conference Review

A full summary of the conference is now available to download from the panel on the right, or through this link.

Thank You to All

Sincere thanks to all our keynotes, chairs, speakers and delegates for their generous and lively contributions to the conference. It was wonderful to witness engagement of such depth and diversity in an area of research that has for too long been marginalised or dominated by reductive debates. 

This blog will now become an archive of the event and will also provide a space for future collaborations and discussion. Look out for a full conference review and forthcoming projects. 

We are grateful to Leeds City Museum for hosting the event and to the Henry Moore Foundation, Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and the Centre for Modern Studies at the University of York for their support.
