SPECIAL FOCUS: The Art of Hospitality

“The Art of Hospitality” invites explorations of the possibilities and limits of hospitality, belonging, and gathering through human and non-human entities, mobile and fixed bodies, temporary and permanent spaces. The sites, gestures, acts, and relationships of welcoming or gathering contain power dynamics that reflect financial, social, political, speculative, or imagined currencies, often with burdens and expectations of reciprocity and gratitude. Sites and gestures of hospitality can be found in life, work, art, architecture, design, theater, performance, leisure, and study: these places and acts invite and even demand critique. “The Art of Hospitality” solicits contributions that interrogate these dynamics.

Join us in Pittsburgh, the Steel City, whose three rivers have hosted humans in friendship and conflict for centuries, and whose ongoing occupation of Indigenous land invites reflections on sovereignty and power.

ABOUT US

Founded in 2000, the Arts in Society Research Network offers an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of the role of the arts in society. It is a place for critical engagement, examination, and experimentation, developing ideas that connect the arts to their contexts in the world – on stage, in studios and theaters, in classrooms, in museums and galleries, on the streets and in communities. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries.
