The 2018 Lozano Long Conference is organized by Dr. Rosario Granados-Salinas, Carl & Marilynn Thoma Associate Curator of Spanish Colonial Art at the Blanton Museum of Art, and Associate Professor of History Susan Deans-Smith. This year, scholars from Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Spain, Venezuela, and the United States will convene to discuss interdisciplinary approaches to the study of material culture, including art historical interpretation, anthropological inquiry, and conservation analysis. The theme is inspired by the Foundation’s long-term loan of thirty works of Spanish Colonial art to the Blanton. Professors Thomas B.F. Cummins, Harvard University, and Luisa Elena Alcalá, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, will deliver keynote addresses. Kicking off with a performance by the Austin Baroque Orchestra, the Lozano Long Conference is free and open to the public. The second rotation of artworks from the Thoma Collection will open Feb. 12 at the Blanton, coinciding with the event. Register here.
