The Intersection of Art and Archaeology Symposium brings together artists and scholars from North and Latin America to discuss how contemporary artists working in the Americas (re)interpret archaeological narratives and associated imagery. Participants include archaeologists, cultural anthropologists, museum curators, and artists. Discussions will focus on traditional and modern interpretations of a wide range of arts, including ceramics, textiles, woodworking, and iconography from across the Americas, from Mexico to Peru to the Southeastern United States.
