PS34 Material Religion through the Sacred Interior will be Chaired by Tania Kolarik, University of Wisconsin-Madison Session Description (CfP): Material Religion Through the Sacred Interior Following the Protestant Reformation, clerics and church officials stripped the interior spaces of many western medieval churches of their polychromy, textiles, choir screens, side altars, and sculptures, fundamentally changing the sensorial experience of worship for both clergy and laity. These changes had an impact on how scholars approached medieval church interiors, causing some to overlook the presence of furniture and other portable furnishings.

Public Interiority Symposium Call for Symposium and Exhibition Proposals The Public Interiority Symposium + Exhibition at the University of Tennessee Knoxville prompts designers to address the intersections between experience-based interiority and the city.

The Public Interiority Symposium + Exhibition will be held in person at the University of Tennessee Knoxville on February 18, 2023, with a public exhibition inRead More →
