Please save the date for the 2021 Fitch Colloquium:
The Art of Preservation.
DATE: February 19, 2021
TIME: 12:00pm - 5:00pm (EST)
LOCATION: Virtual
Artists are leading a broad rethinking of heritage, and claiming a central role within preservation practice. In recent years, many BIPOC artists have worked with built heritage to take up the legacies of racial inequities and historical injustices as central themes in their work. Artists confront, challenge, or reframe the role of heritage in society. What will the future of preservation look like as art becomes more central in the profession?
The 2021 Fitch Colloquium, co-sponsored by
the Historic Preservation program at Columbia University’s GSAPP and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, will explore this intersection of art and preservation. The symposium convenes BIPOC artists who integrate heritage – and all its sociopolitical implications today – into their works.
Panelists will include:
Ifa Bayeza
Nona Faustine
Joel Garcia
David Hartt
Monèt Noelle Marshall
Karyn Olivier
Ada Pinkston
Paul Rucker
