UCLA Art History Professor Stella Nair will be delivering a presentation at Columbia University entitled “Conversations on Architecture and Land in and out of the Americas: Land from Water”.
Inca rulers and Italian Renaissance political thinkers shared a peculiar commonality: they thought of land as an infrastructure that could be shaped to direct the flows of water and wealth. Stella Nair and Caroline Murphy, historians of the early-modern period, will present research about land management techniques drawn from the long history of infrastructure in two globally distant 16th-century places: Cuzco, Peru, and Tuscany, Italy.
The event will take place on February 29, 2024 at 9 AM and broadcasted via Zoom for all to enjoy.
