The study of skilled making holds that the knowledge involved in craft processes is just as important for understanding the historical contexts of artifacts as the diverse interactions underpinning their exchange, display and use. This year’s New Antiquity meeting at the Bard Graduate Center and Columbia University will concentrate on the material and textual legacies of ancient craft to bring out the interrelated ways of making and knowing that sustained the art traditions of the Greek and Roman worlds as generative forms of cultural production.

Friday, April 14, 9 am–1 pm
Bard Graduate Center, 38 West 86th Street, Lecture Hall

Saturday, April 15, 9 am–5:30 pm
