To support Iconoclasm across the Americas, 1500–1900 (April 4–5, 2025), a symposium that brings together eleven leading scholars to present and workshop new research on artistic destruction to expand and diversify discussions on iconoclasm beyond recent historical moments and regions primarily focused on the Global North. The program includes a public dialogue and a closed workshop, where participants exchange research and provide feedback, with plans for the collaborative development and dissemination of an edited volume of essays, addressing a critical gap in scholarship on iconoclasm and the arts of the early Americas. The book, aimed at students, scholars, and museum professionals, will be marketed widely in print and online, as well as at academic conferences and book fairs, with a planned publication in 2026.
