16-17.6.2022: International Congress ‘Distinguished above others. The role of the artists in New Kingdom Art’ in Madrid

The NATIONAL DISTANCE EDUCATION UNIVERSITY (UNED), Spain, in collaboration with the NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TUCUMÁN, Argentina, are pleased to announce the celebration of the International Congress ‘Distinguished above others. The role of the artists in New Kingdom Art’ (DOA), in Madrid (16-17th June 2022).
The expression ‘Distinguished above others’ belongs from the stela of the artist Userhat Hatiay, kept at the Rijks Museum Van Oudheden, containing one of the fewest autobiographies preserved from ancient Egyptian artists. It reflects the admiration towards the work of the artists in whose guild Userhat Hatiay claims to be distinguished above others, as an expert in his field.
The current international congress will focus on the following topics, but not excluding others:
− The role of the artists in New Kingdom and the creative dimension of artworks (techniques, creativity, innovation, emulation, sources of inspiration, etc.).
− The process of negotiation between patrons and artists.
− Artists’ mobility in New Kingdom art, especially as agents of diffusion of icons and styles.
− Identification of workshops or artists.
− Etc.
The event will feature six guest speakers: Dr. Myriam Seco (University of Seville), Dr. Nico Staring (University of Liège – Belgium), Dr. Silvina Vera (Universidad Nacional de Tucumán), Shaimaa Magdi (CEDAE, Egypt), Dr. Inmaculada Vivas (UNED) and Dr. Gema Menéndez (UESD).
In addition, presentations of about 15-20 minutes will be included in the congress, chosen among the proposals selected by the scientific comitee. The presentations may be preferable in person or online.
For this reason, we invite all members of the academic community to submit their proposals to the DOA ‘Distinguished above others. The role of the artists in New Kingdom Art'. Abstracts in English and Spanish are welcomed (maximum 300 words). The deadline for submissions is the 20th April 2022.
Accepted proposals will be notified by 1st May 2022.

It will also be possible to attend the evento in person or online (with previous registration sending an email to the organisers indicating in the subject “DOA Attendance”).
