Building on recent scholarship that explores the shaping of the notion of “Persian art” by the activities of artists, scholars, collectors, and dealers, this workshop aims to expand the understanding of Persian art through a trans-regional lens, focusing on Asia. An international extension of the workshop, “The Representation of Epistemological Self and Other in Modern Asia,” held in February 2024, this event seeks to examine how Persian art was perceived and represented through publications, museum exhibitions, and architecture within the global context of the 19th and 20th centuries. Through a series of case studies, the workshop will explore the reception of Persian art in Japan, India, and Iran, highlighting the influence of cross-cultural exchanges and global networks on its meanings and representations.
The first day of the workshop will shed light on the reception of Persian art in Japan and India, with papers that address historiography, collection history, and architecture. The discussion topics will include the role of historiography in shaping discourses on Japan-Iran relations, the history of Japanese encounters with Persian art, and the use of Persian elements in Indo-Saracenic architecture and its impact on the redefinition of Indian identity. The focus on the second day will shift to the context of modern Iran, with the objective of challenging monolithic art historical narratives. The papers will address the definition of national culture in Iranian museums as well as the role of modernist architects from Iran’s religious minorities in the circulation of the International Style. Ultimately, the workshop aims to deepen our understanding of the complexities surrounding Persian art, examining its interpretation, transformation, and redefinition within both national and international frameworks.
