Itinerant Objects: Early Modern Mobility and the Spaces In Between

Details:

Centering on objects from the Muslim world that passed into and also through Venice in the early modern period, this workshop explores how we think and talk about mobility and distance as vectors of meaning, historically and in the present, in practices of research, writing, and museum display.
