Symposium—Surrealism Beyond Borders | Closing Discussion

Nearly from its inception, Surrealism has had an international scope, but perspectives on the movement have been formed primarily through a Western European focus. The exhibition “Surrealism Beyond Borders“ reconsiders the “movement” of Surrealism across boundaries of geography and chronology. This two-day series of conversations with leading scholars and artists continues to explore the issues raised in the exhibition, especially the blind spots, erasures, and challenges, and their consequences for thinking about Surrealism. Speakers: Dawn Adès, Emeritus Professor, School of Philosophy and Art History, University of Essex Joan Kee, Professor, History of Art, University of Michigan Zita Cristina Nunes, Associate Professor of English, University of Pennsylvania Friday, January 21, 2022, 12–12:45 pm Learn more about the exhibition: Subscribe for new content from The Met:
