The international conference "About Time: Temporality in American Art and Visual Culture" explored the integration of time in various forms of American art from the 17th to the 21st centuries. Organized by Hélène Valance and Tatsiana Zhurauliova, the conference featured six panels addressing themes such as materiality, memory, and cultural history through presentations by scholars on topics ranging from Afro-futurism in collage art to the connection between historical events and contemporary visual culture.
