Visual art is a lens through which cultural memory, collective consciousness, and personal identity become visible. This section investigates how images, objects, and artistic practices operate as forms of cultural diplomacy—communicating ideas across disciplines, mediating histories, and challenging aesthetic boundaries. We also look at how curatorial choices and interpretive frameworks can shape the narratives that artworks produce, and how new methods of art historiography might be developed to imagine more equitable global perspectives. Through essays and interviews, we explore how visual cultures examine and shape these narratives.

Officially launching in January
