Abstract
Crossing Cultures: Conflict, Migration and Convergence is a compilation of the conference papers from
the 32nd International Congress in the History of Art organised by the International Committee
of the History of Art (CIHA), edited by conference convenor Professor Jaynie Anderson. Crossing
Cultures is an in-depth examination of the effect of globalism on art and art history. Covering all
aspects of art—including traditional media, painting, sculpture, architecture and the crafts, as well
as design, film, visual performance and new media—it explores the themes of conflict, migration
and convergence in the visual, symbolic and artistic exchanges between cultures throughout history. Edited by Professor Jaynie Anderson
