ISLAA Forum: Latin American and Latinx Art and Visual Culture Dissertation Workshop

About the Program

ISLAA Forum: Latin American and Latinx Art and Visual Culture Dissertation Workshop is an annual gathering to build community and professional networks for graduate students who convene at the University of Texas, Austin’s Center for Latin American Visual Studies (CLAVIS) for three-day meetings to focus on dissertation proposals or a single thesis chapter. Students present their work to the faculty and an invited scholar. The ISLAA Forum is supported by the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA), which expands scholarship and public engagement with art from Latin America.

Participants in the workshop will present overviews of their dissertation projects on April 20 and April 21 from 9:30 AM – 12:15 PM in DFA 2.204. Invited senior scholar, Dr. C. Ondine Chavoya will deliver a keynote lecture, “Teddy Sandoval: Palm Trees, Postcards, and the Butch Gardens School of Art,” on April 20 from 3 PM– 4:30 PM in ART 1.102.
