Symposium in Art History: Cross-border connectivity in Nordic–Baltic Art 
in the late 19th and 20th centuries

This symposium explores a new and critical Nordic–Baltic research front 
on cross-border relations and the artistic connectivity of the 
Nordic–Baltic realm and relations to European neighbours, in the late 
19th and 20th centuries. It focuses on cross-border relations and 
circulations in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Norway, 
Sápmi (the land of the Sami) and Sweden, including interconnections with 
European neighbours. The invited scholars explore ideas that moves 
beyond "centre–periphery" models and ideas of aesthetic diffusion of 
innovation and the symposium will give an overview of state-of-the-art 
approaches to the artistic connectivity of the Nordic–Baltic realm in 
the late 19th and 20th centuries.

This symposium is arranged by Department of Art History, School of 
Culture and Education, Södertörn University, and the Swedish Institute,
