Moderation der Podiumsdiskussion mit Prof. Dr. Monica Juneja, Prof. Dr. Eva Ehninger und M.A. Jamila Adeli

As part of the programme of the exhibition "Common Ground #3. Where the Circles Intersect", Kleine Humboldt Galerie invited M.A. Jamila Adeli (PhD candidate at Humboldt University’s Institute for Asian and African Studies ), Prof. Dr. Eva Ehninger (Department of Art and Visual History, Humboldt University Berlin), and Prof. Dr. Monica Juneja(Global Art History, Heidelberg Cluster of Excellence „Asia and Europe in a Global Context“) for a panel discussion, moderated by Rebecca John. The aim was to explore how to think art history in translocal spaces: how can the transcultural perspective question the canon and enrich the discipline of art history? Can art be described from a global perspective, without re-establishing borders? What happens when art travels the world and is presented in new localities? Is it necessary to explain an artwork’s geographical context, or does the work speak for itself after the „spatial turn“ and the advent of „post internet art”?
