The Hypothèses team is pleased to invite you to our second session entitled “Looking Back to Revise: Borduas et Zeid à la lumière de nouvelles historiographies.” It will take place on Wednesday, October 30th at 5:30 pm at La Guilde gallery.
Cette séance propose des conférences de Alexis Janssen (maîtrise, Concordia) « The Extractive and Transatlantic Modernism of Paul-Émile Borduas’ 1942 Gouaches » et de Isabelle Burrows (maîtrise, Concordia) « The Politics of Revisionist Historiography in Tate Modern’s Fahrelnissa Zeid Retrospective ».
