The intersections with art history will be explored by Mariana Pinto dos Santos.

This talk is organized not only for the scientific and academic community, but is open to all; access is free, subject only to room capacity. Those unable to attend can watch via Zoom.

About the cycle:
The ‘IN2PAST PhD Talks’ series takes place between November 2023 and June 2024, in Évora, Lisbon and Minho. The goal is to promote the intersection between diverse scientific areas, which defines the transdisciplinary vocation of our associated laboratory, from chemistry and music to art history and architecture, from anthropology to contemporary history or archaeology.
The talks also encourage the dialogue between scientific practices of knowledge of the past, and other cultural ways of using and understanding it, from heritage interventions to artistic creation, to the development of public memory policies.
The meetings will take place at the different IN2PAST locations, from the South to the North of Portugal. They are open to participation by our PhD students and researchers, but also by colleagues from other research centres and professionals from the cultural sector who work in archives, museums, monuments, archaeological sites or natural parks.

Organisation: António Candeias, Fátima Ferreira, Joana Cunha Leal, José Mirão, José Neves, Manuel Pedro Ferreira, Nélia Dias, Paulo Simões Rodrigues, Ricardo Castro, Rita Hasse Ferreira e Sónia Almeida.
