Project description

This series of lectures aims at bringing together and connecting eminent scholars in the fields of cultural history, art history and architecture to the universities in Central and South-Eastern Europe. Noteworthy research and methods will be brought to the universities and innovative approaches with regard to content and methodology will be applied to existing courses. The theme and list of participants has been compiled by Piotr Piotrowski (Adam Mickiewicz University Poznan) in agreement with the culture program of the ERSTE Foundation and the PATTERNS Advisory Panel.

The lecture set deals with the possibilities of writing a Central European art history and its points of reference, its peculiarities and the commonalities with the Western art historical narrative.
