ORIENTALISM IN EAST AND WEST

This conference focuses on the historic and contemporary relations between East and West that have influenced the development of the decorative arts and design. In its broadest sense, Orientalism stands for an artistic approach towards influences from a culture alien to the designer. The theme, which has perhaps never been more current, concentrates from a historical perspective on decorative arts and design as a means of communication for cultures.

Paper

15 minute paper sessions provide participants the opportunity to make a formal 15 minute lecture pertaining to the theme of Orientalism.

Presentation

Presentations provide participants the opportunity to make a five-minute visual presentation during the Market Place session.

Scholarship

This year two scholarships will be given to two young ICDAD members in order to attend the conference.

Deadline

30 April 2011
