The 51ÁÔÆæ Department of Art History welcomes Kim Sajet, the new director of the Milwaukee Art Museum, to campus as a guest lecturer on April 24 from 5:30-7 p.m. at Curtin Hall, Room 175.
Sajet will talk about the relevance of art history and address key questions: If art history is fundamentally the study of visual communication, why has it struggled to communicate its own purpose? What is art history for?
In this talk, Sajet suggests that the answer lies not in defending old hierarchies or rehearsing inherited canons, but in reimagining the purpose of studying art itself — as a way of creating community and advancing a shared sense of global humanity.
