Society of Historians of East European, Eurasian and Russian Art and
Architecture

Exploring Native Traditions in Eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia

Alison Hilton, Georgetown University. Email [email protected]

A cultural crossroads throughout history, this region and its arts
assimilated and reacted to a succession of invading and dominating cultures
from Greek, Roman, and Byzantine to Mongol, Ottoman, and Soviet.
Interactions between local traditions and external artistic sources varied
greatly with time, place, and social circumstances. Within a broad
historical and geographical framework, the session seeks to balance the
significance of international contacts, including professional training in
urban centers, and the experiences of artists who worked primarily in their
native regions.   Artists expressed regional identities through distinctive
themes and motifs in every art form; some made use of traditional
techniques and designs, or represented provincial spaces, distinct
ethnicities and social customs.  Papers may focus on individual artists or
on broader institutional contexts that affected evolving concepts of
regionalism and nationalism. The discussions might also address
contemporary tensions surrounding regional and national identity.
