Paper on joint ARIAH-RIHA seminar in London
Each year members of RIHA (the International Association of Research Institutes in the History of Art, founded 1998 in Paris) meet at the General Assembly, which is often combined with annual meeting of RIHA Journal editors.
25th General Assembly was hosted by the Courtauld Institute of Art in London (on 09-11 November 2023) and it also featured a joint RIHA and ARIAH (The Association of Research Institutes in Art History) seminar, entitled “To whom do works of art belong?”, with two sessions (“What to do with art in a colonial/post-colonial context?” and “Do works of art belong to nations?”). Keynote lecture was streamed from Kyiv (Yulia Lytvynets, Director General of the National Art Museum of Ukraine in Kyiv, Ukraine, talked about “Decolonizing 20th-century Ukrainian art”)
In the second session I had a pleasure to present a paper entitled “Artworks by Michael Willmann and the issue of Silesian heritage in post-1945 Poland”.
