The Zurbarán Centre at Durham University hosted its second student-led symposium, highlighting innovative doctoral research in Ibero-American and Latin American art and visual culture. This year's theme was transgression and liminality, with presentations spanning diverse periods and geographies. The 19 papers, from 14 academic institutions, addressed everything from traditional art movements to the boundaries of mind and body, religion and social norms. Topics discussed included art and politics, circulation of artefacts, visual traditions in different media and periods, questions of identity, cultural heritage and modernity. The symposium featured a keynote lecture by Dr. Laura Fernández-González of the University of Lincoln. Among them, research team member Bárbara Romero-Ferrón (Western University, Canada), presented her research on "Quantifying the concept of Spanish art in the 19th century UK. An analysis of cultural networks of exhibitions".
