CFP: ‘Deviant’ Women: Women and the Visual Arts Research Symposium

8 April 2025

The Women and the Visual Arts Research Cluster at the University of Bristol is excited to announce their forthcoming symposium taking place at the University of Bristol on Thursday, 10th July 2025.

We welcome submissions that think about women’s ‘deviancy’ in their relationship to the visual arts in diverse ways: women who push the boundaries on what has been seen as the norm or whose work is divergent from accepted standards. While we are explicitly seeking contributions that foreground the visual, we are excited to hear from colleagues working across fields and disciplines, including (but not limited to) history of art, visual culture, classics, film and theatre studies, history, religious studies, and those doing practice-based research. 

In addition to proposals for papers, we also welcome submissions for videos or artist talks related to the symposium’s themes. Submission deadline 5 May.
