CLAVIS is thrilled to announce the publication of the book “The São Paulo Neo-Avant-Garde: Radical Art and Mass Print Media in Cold War Brazil” authored by former CLAVISta Mari Rodriguez Binnie.

This book examines how a young generation of artists used new printing technologies like photocopy and offset lithography as a conceptual maneuver to intervene in established definitions of art and, simultaneously, criticize Brazil’s military dictatorship.

Through an extensive repertoire of archival materials, Rodriguez Binnie historicizes a pivotal chapter in Brazilian art marked by repressive measures towards artists who openly contested the dictatorial regimen.

“The São Paulo Neo-Avant-Garde” is the first English-language book to focus on conceptual practices in São Paulo in the 1970s and 1980s. We deeply congratulate Mari Rodriguez Binnie for the publication of this book that significantly contributes to critical debates of Latin American art.

Call for Participation: ISLAA Forum: Latin American and Latinx Art and Visual Culture Dissertation Workshop, April 4-6, 2024, Center for Latin American Visual Studies, UT Austin. Applications due January 7. Details: https://bit.ly/ISLAAForum2024CLAVIS

The Center for Latin American Visual Studies (CLAVIS) and the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA) are pleased to announce the third convening of the ISLAA Forum: Latin American and Latinx Art and Visual Culture Dissertation Workshop, to take place at the University of Texas at Austin on April 4-6, 2024. The two invited scholars for 2024 will be announced shortly.

This workshop is intended to serve doctoral students of modern and contemporary Latin American and Latinx art and visual culture from the nineteenth century to the present day. Full-time students who have advanced to candidacy at an accredited university, and are currently working on a dissertation chapter manuscript, are eligible to apply. Generous support from ISLAA will cover the full cost of round-trip air travel to Austin, lodging, and ground transportation. Meals will also be provided.

This 3-day program invites up to 6 doctoral students to develop their dissertation chapter manuscripts with a group of scholars with a variety of geographic, thematic, and methodological interests.

In the workshop, students will give brief overviews of their dissertation projects and engage in extended discussion of their manuscript with organizing and invited faculty, offering and receiving constructive commentary toward improving their argumentation and writing. Discussions will emphasize strengthening conceptual and narrative frameworks and potential for interdisciplinary approaches, as well as identifying additional primary sources, relevant literatures, and possible interlocutors. The workshop also includes visits to campus collections—among these are the Blanton Museum of Art, Benson Latin American Library, and Harry Ransom Center—and opportunities to meet with colleagues there. The goal is to support highly original and fully historicized dissertations that directly contribute to a more rigorous, international, and collaborative field.

We are especially interested in hearing from emerging scholars working on Black, Indigenous, feminist, q***r, Central American, and Caribbean projects. We also want to hear from scholars from communities historically underrepresented in academia and from Latin America and the Caribbean.
