Asli Menevse, History of Art PhD candidate, is participating in CAA’s 2021 virtual conference with her talk, titled: “Golden Calf to Raging Bull: The Printed Faces of Capitalism.”
Asli’s talk is part of a larger project which attends to the visual representations of Capitalism in the works of fin-de-siècle French graphic artists with radical leftist affiliations. In her CAA talk, she brings one of the most popular critical icons of late nineteenth century anticapitalism— the golden calf—in a transhistorical dialogue with the works of contemporary activist artists who engaged with the famous statue known as the “Bull of Wall Street” as an icon of global capitalism during the 2011 Occupy Movement.
The pre-recorded video of her talk will be available to the conference registrants between February 5th and March 15th. Her panel’s live Q&A session will take place on Thursday, February 11, 2021 at 6:00 pm EST.
