SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The Matter of Location
DESCRIPTION:Fall Symposium\n\nIn recent decades\, the diverse artistic practices that flourished within the expansive confines of the early modern Iberian world (ca. 1492-1821) have been rethought through the lens of mobility. Yet while centering the trajectories of objects\, artists\, and ideas served to set studies of these practices in motion\, it also helped obscure the profound importance of place as a concept that anchored such multifaceted itinerancy. This symposium gathers six art historians\, each working on different sites entangled in varied ways within Spanish colonial networks\, to explore how objects—as assemblages of both physical matter and ideas about the wider worlds that those substances materialized—played a fundamentally locative role for period audiences who navigated them. Working within a context that was indelibly shaped by displacement\, each investigates how these objects emerged as both key components of Imperial infrastructures of place and the placemaking activities that emerged in response.\n\nSpeakers:\nMaría Lumbreras (UC Santa Barbara)\nFrancisco Mamani Fuentes (Instituto Francés de Estudios Andinos)\nAnthony Meyer (New York University)\nDrisana Misra (Cornell)\nBrendan McMahon (University of Michigan)\nCatalina Ospina (Yale University)	\n\nWelcome and opening remarks: 10:00-10:15 am\n\nSession One: 10:15-11 45 am\nAnthony Meyer - “Transformative Journeys: Carrying Materials in Nahua Religion”\nCatalina Ospina - “Colonial Artistry and Ecology: Mopa Mopa as a Medium of Place”\n\nSession Two: 12:00-1:30 pm\nFrancisco Mamani Fuentes - “Ecological Policies in the Production of Wooden Arts in the Colonial Andes”\nMaría Lumbreras - “Bitumen-Bound: Morisco Placemaking at the End of Spain’s Islam”\n\nSession Three: 2:30-4:00 pm\nDrisana Misra - “Lacustrine Imaginaries: Japanese World Map Screens and Indigenous Knowledges”\nBrendan McMahon - “‘To breathe naturally in a world of strangeness’: Lithic Placemaking in Colonial Mexico City.”\n\nRoundtable: 4:00-4:30 pm\nDiscussant - Ken Mills (University of Michigan)\n\nReception: 4:30-5:00 pm
