The event will be hybrid, blending in-person presentations with online presentations via Zoom to make the event more equitable and permit international participation and will also include a walk-through of the exhibition. The talks will be projected for viewing together at the museum, from 10 am–4 pm, with a tour of the exhibition to follow Saturday, November 22, at 10:30 am.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Nicole Cook, Senior Program Manager at the Center for Netherlandish Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Dr. Cook will share her research about seventeenth-century Dutch prints of “nightwalkers” and how they envisage a space for gender nonconformity.
