Reno, NV. Starting tomorrow through Saturday, the Center for Basque Studies
at the University of Reno will become the meeting point of experts in
politics, sociology, and art who will participate in the “Beyond Guernica and
the Guggenheim: Relations between Art and Politics from a Comparative
Perspective" conference.
The goal of the conference is to develop
the increasing research on the interaction between art and politics today, from
an interdisciplinary perspective. The
experts gathering in Reno will discuss the issue from both a theoretical as
well as an empirical point of view, in the context of international culture and
politics.
