CIHA World Congress

Motion: Transformation

Organized by CIHA Italia in collaboration with the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz

Motion: Transformation is the title of the 35th CIHA Congress which has been proposed as an invitation to study the specific "life" of artworks, artifacts and images: animation, "lifelyness", efficacy or "emanation" are phenomena that in many cultures, since prehistoric times, are linked to crafted objects, images or rites.

One figure the Florentine initiative wants to rethink is that of the artist or "maker", seen in a transcultural perspective. The combination of art historical and anthropological expertise is a strong point of the Congress, to better understand the position of the "animated" object in the formation and transformation of collective identities and in transcultural negotiations.

The Congress invites comparative approaches or explorations of dynamics of connectivity. In its broad chronological and geographical range it is specifically interested in epochal changes and the processes of globalization under colonial or postcolonial premises.

For further details about the conference, the nine sessions and the over one hundred speakers please visit www.ciha-italia.it.

The Congress, organized by CIHA Italia in collaboration with Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, will take place in Firenze Fiera, in Villa Vittoria's halls and in some of the most prestigious historical buildings of the town able to host the 1,000 expected participants, such as Palazzo Vecchio and others.
