About

Art can bridge disciplines and methods in ways that reframe histories and bring new insights. While scholarly perspectives offer valuable contextualization, artists can address issues of technology and a global network from embodied practice and through direct intervention. We are seeking artwork submissions for the DAHJ and H-ART virtual galleries to be displayed in conjunction with the collaborative issue between H-ART and the DAHJ entitled “Zonas de contacto: Art History in a Global Network?” The digital display will be a form of praxis, expanding the journals’ discussions into areas of artistic production.
