SMArt Talks: Building Histories
We cordially invite you to the autumn lecture series SMArt Talks, organised by the Centre for Modern Art & Theory. SMArt Talks: Building Histories start on the 23rd of September!
The Centre for Modern Art & Theory is announcing the position of post-doctoral researcher within the project Czechs and the Colonial World: Design and Visual Culture since 1848 (https://globalczechs.cz/), funded by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic.
The Czechs and the Colonial World project examines how Czechs engaged with non-European societies and cultures and sought to understand them through visual culture. It considers how Czech ideas about identity also emerged from these encounters. It analyses the social, political and cultural factors that shaped these ideas and examines how attitudes and representations evolved over the period examined by the project. The project is looking for researchers who will be able to develop independent research agendas in connection with the project topics. The project will also consider proposals from researchers who want to conduct comparative research analysing the Czech case within the broader framework of Central Europe and the question of coloniality in visual culture.
