Fall Conference: ReVIEWING Black Mountain College 15
October 25-27, 2024 in Asheville, North Carolina

An annual conference exploring the history and legacy of Black Mountain College hosted and sponsored by Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center (BMCM+AC) and The University of North Carolina Asheville

Thematic Focus: Black Mountain College / Living with the Land
Keynote Speaker: David Silver, professor of environmental studies and urban agriculture at the University of San Francisco and author of the forthcoming book The Farm at Black Mountain College co-published by Atelier Éditions and Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center.

Proposals connected to the BMC farm, land, and work program are welcome, but the theme Black Mountain College / Living with the Land can also apply to many other disciplines and practices related to BMC, including environmental sustainability, education, visual arts, poetry, architecture, indigenous history, and more. Additionally, proposals on any theme related to Black Mountain College and its legacy are encouraged and will be considered, and, in the spirit of BMC, the conference challenges disciplinary boundaries, and invites contributions of all genres: performances, panels, multi-media proposals, and workshops are welcome.
