Commencement Closure
UAMA will be closed on Friday, May 10, in recognition of the University's commencement celebration.
We believe in the power of art to spark essential conversations and enhance research at our university and in our community.
As long as icons have existed, humans have sought to destroy those that do not represent their personal beliefs — most frequently religious or political in nature.
During this virtual art talk, Monica Andrino — a University of Arizona student graduating with a major in Art History and minor in German Studies — will join Professor of German Studies Dr. Albrecht Classen in exploring the destruction of cultural objects and monuments through the lens of art history.
They will offer an introduction to the relevance of the topic from a medieval perspective, then examine both historic and contemporary examples from around the world.
