Dis[Locating] Culture Symposium April 16, 2011

Dis[Locating] Culture Symposium
Keynote by Reza Aslan
Saturday, April 16, 2011 from 1:00–6:00 pm
at The Andy Warhol Museum Theater; Reception in Entrance Gallery
117 Sandusky Street, North Side, Pittsburgh; $35/$25 for members & students

In conjunction with Dis[Locating] Culture at Michael Berger Gallery, this symposium (hosted by Michael Berger Gallery, the Pittsburgh Middle East Institute, & The Andy Warhol Museum) will explore the issues suggested by the exhibition and will be held at the Warhol Museum Theater. By exploring contemporary Islamic art’s boundaries & borders—whether religious, cultural, or social—and asking participants which are to be respected, and which disrupted & dislocated, the symposium aims to upend the traditional narrative of civilizational collision in favor of the dialogue of collusion.

The symposium is keynoted by renowned scholar and best-selling writer Reza Aslan.
