Navigating Visions Conference

The first annual Re:Locations conference took place on Nov. 22nd 2019 at Hart House, University of Toronto.

Through the lens of “navigation” and “relocation,” this symposium contributed to knowledge about Asian and Pacific contexts, and the Asia-Pacific world, by investigating the important role of transit, mobilities and encounters in the history of art and visual culture.

Co-Chairs: Brittany Myburgh (University of Toronto) and Julia Lum (Scripps College)

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.

Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
