Throughout art\u2019s history, the human body has been a site of tensions, subject to regulations, overcoming or submitting to physical challenges, but also offering far-reaching opportunities for self-expression. This symposium will bring together scholars and artists to explore the interactions between body and place, the production of bodily knowledge, the regulation of the body, and its agency. The event will feature two keynote lectures and six panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keynote Speaker, May 18:&nbsp;<strong>Lou-ann Neel<\/strong>&nbsp;is from the Mamalilikulla and Kwagiulth people of the Kwakwaka\u2019wakw (the Kwak\u2019wala-speaking people).

In addition to her artistic practice, Neel serves as Curator of the Indigenous Collections and Acting Head of Indigenous Collections and Repatriation Department at the Royal BC Museum. She will speak about Indigenous ways of art-making.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/discover.uw.edu\/MTMxLUFRTy0yMjUAAAGC7D77rYAiY2t7l562Jg-wIznTY8W96W2hbZZXXN68k-fLpYYjoHKuMFQwh8meUSUy1Hh2o2Q=\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more about Neel<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keynote Speaker, May 19:\u00a0<strong>Amanda Cachia<\/strong> is a curator, writer, and art historian who specializes in disability art activism across intersectional axes of difference, including gender, race, and sexuality.
