Scotland in Europe - Cultural Connections, 1939 to the Present

Regional, national, and international Museum and Gallery collections and 
archives narrate and evidence the close links and relations in creative 
practices which connect Scotland with, and position it in relation to, 
European contexts. Examples of this rich heritage of historical and 
contemporary cultural exchanges include National Galleries of Scotland’s 
Surrealism collections and archives, the Wilhelmina Barnes-Graham Trust, 
the histories and legacies of Glasgow's 1990 European Year of Culture, 
festivals and biennales, Scottish participation in European cultural 
initiatives, art school travelling scholarships, cultural relations and 
diplomatic policies, and Scottish artists working in a variety of 
capacities in Europe, and European emigré artists working in Scotland. 
At a time of heightened political, social, and cultural questioning of 
national and international identities – including Scottish and European 
– these creative and cultural practices and exchanges reveal crucial 
insights into the interconnections, shared histories, and mergings of 
different cultural traditions and heritages. Awareness and understanding 
of these are crucial for art and cultural researchers, practitioners, 
and professionals to be able to respond to and productively develop 
dialogues around these significant political contexts.

Proposals are therefore sought for 20-minute presentations which address 
any aspects of these exchanges from a wide range of perspectives 
including (but not restricted to) art histories, pedagogies, cultural 
policies and industries, and art and curatorial practices.

Please send abstracts (200 words maximum) to Dr Gráinne Rice (National 
Galleries of Scotland, GRice at nationalgalleries.org) and Professor 
Patricia Allmer (University of Edinburgh, patricia.allmer at ed.ac.uk), by 
1 April 2021.

This one-day conference, to be held on 25 February 2022, is a 
collaboration between the National Galleries of Scotland and the 
University of Edinburgh, and is supported by an Art Fund Curatorial 
Network grant. Presentations will be filmed, and a publication is planned.
