Global Modernitites? Eine öffentliche Vortragsreihe
04 / 2024
April 22 – July 15, 2024
Modernity is often described as a mainly Western phenomenon, a notion that is increasingly contested by academic debates. The lecture series Global Modernities? takes up these discussions and examines the historiography of art as part of global modernization processes.
The lectures will take place from April 22 to July 15, 2024 on Mondays from 6-8 p.m. in the Fridericianum.
