Dear list members (with apologies for cross-posting to those on the
german-history list)
The Faculty of Art and Design at Manchester Metropolitan University is
hosting a one-day symposium on Saturday 18th March entitled
'Signs of the Times: Social Impact and Role of Visual Culture in Communist
and Post-Communist Central and Eastern Europe'
The symposium is organised in conjunction with two exhibitions of political
posters from the former Eastern bloc, running concurrently at the Imperial
War Museum, London (until 7th May) and the Manchester Metropolitan
University (until 7th April).
Speakers include academics and museum staff from the UK and Central and
Eastern Europe, and the ticket price (40 pounds full price, students 12,
including lunch) includes a copy of the lavishly illustrated MUP publication
'Signs of the Times', by James Aulich and Marta Sylvestrova. Space is
limited, and tickets will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
For further information, contact Mona Patel at the Manchester Metropolitan
University on 0161 247 6225.
