Global Displays of Islamic Art Today: Agency, Identity, and Politics<\/strong>
Virtual Panel & Discussion sponsored by the Islamic Art and Material Culture Collaborative (IAMCC), Toronto
February 12th, 2022, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm (EST, Toronto)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the early 2000s, numerous\nmuseums around the world have reinstalled their collections of Islamic art as\nnew galleries or created entire museums focusing on the arts and cultures of\nthe Islamic world. During the same period, methodological interventions\nbuilding on post-structuralist and post-colonial theory have begun to challenge\nlong-standing formal and regional categories defining the field of Islamic art\nhistory and have impacted the display strategies of new displays of Islamic\nart. As a central interface between the academic study of the Middle East, its\nglobal representation, and the general public, the approaches these museums\nadopt to mediate between art, material culture, and Islamic or regional\ncultures play a central role in shaping discussions about the region. At the\nsame time, Islamic art displays are also embedded in heterogeneous local\npolitics and social discourses that serve local, regional or national agendas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a series of case studies from both public and private museums in Turkey, Qatar, France, Spain, Canada and Iran, this panel of international doctoral candidates examines curatorial practice and agency vis-\u00e0-vis the politics of museum display and art discourses from 2000 until today. Rather than interpreting Islamic art displays as passive and neutral representations of the past, this panel theorizes them as a contemporary cultural practice that stages spatialized and immersive, ideological narrations of culture and identity. The papers examine new and complex ways in which museums and galleries of Islamic art use objects today to communicate broader ideas and narratives in various global contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
