Immortal Materiality or Mortal objects? – 16 December 2021
Date: 16 December 2021
Location: Online
Credits: 1 ECT
The graduate students of the UvA-RMA course Matter Materiality and Material Culture, are organizing a conference on what they have learned the past couple of months. The one-day conference ‘Immortal Materiality or Mortal Objects’ 2021 is taking place on December 16th and will be an online event.
In the age of the anthropocene the delineation between the human self and objects has become increasingly blurred. Our lives are inextricably entwined with the materiality we both make and utilise, but to what extent is it inseparable from humanity and the identities therein? Does materiality have a life of its own and does it end?
