| Graduate Student Seminar Series: Kristen Nassif (Rescheduled) | 306 | Graduate Student Seminar Series: Kristen Nassif (Rescheduled) | Zoom | <p>​Is blindness the opposite of seeing? At the end of the nineteenth
century in America, artworks and objects answered resoundingly: no. Join
graduate student Kristen Nassif as she discusses how
the loss or absence of sight mattered in experiences of making and
understanding works of art between the 1870s and 1890s in the United
States. In this presentation, Nassif will explore how maps,
paintings, sculptures, and scientific models confronted viewers with
questions about what it meant to see and not see. Her research uncovers
how discourses of blindness intersected with works of art, contributing
to and challenging understandings of disability in the Gilded Age.<br><br>Kristen
Nassif is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in the Department of Art
History. She received her BA in art history, studio art, and biology
from Colby College and her MA in art history from Tufts University. Her
research focuses on nineteenth-century American art, visual culture and
material culture. In particular, she is interested in the intersections
between art and science, optics and vision. </p><p><a href="https://udel.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIqf-6sqzojGdPQ-3RG86hLGyfoZo8Ng0E4?_x_zm_rtaid=6oBWetZ_RfS_9OtskyxI5Q.1621007647074.0eddad26eb4059683077880032da65ac&_x_zm_rhtaid=346" title="Register" target="_blank">Registration</a> is required.<br></p> | 5/21/2021 4:00:00 PM | 5/21/2021 5:00:00 PM | | |
