On Thursday, January 20th, Professor Talinn Grigor will participate in the vrtual symposium “Surrealism Beyond Borders” sponsored by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Nearly from its inception, Surrealism has had an international scope, but perspectives on the movement have been formed primarily through a Western European focus. “Surrealism Beyond Borders” reconsiders the “movement” of Surrealism across boundaries of geography and chronology. “Surrealism Beyond Borders” is a two-day series of conversations with leading scholars and artists which continues to explore the issues raised in the exhibition of the same name at The Met, especially the blind spots, erasures, and challenges, and their consequences for thinking about Surrealism.

Talinn will be speaking in Session 1 from 1-3 pm (EST). To register for this event, visit https://www.metmuseum.org/events/programs/met-speaks/symposia/surrealism-beyond-borders
