“Transatlantic interconnections” at “Historical Links,” a conference held at the Instituto Franklin (Alcala de Henares, Spain).
April 24, 2026
I’ll be giving a presentation about my artistic research, “Transatlantic Interconnections: Oceans, Culture, and Artworks in the Space Age,” at the international conference “Historical Links.”
A broad overview of this year’s 3-day in-person conference:
“250 Years of Shared History”
Within this framework, the 11th International Conference on the Links between Spain and North America will address transatlantic influences and connections from a multidisciplinary perspective—political, social, economic, and cultural—both in their historical dimensions and in their contemporary manifestations. Special attention will be paid to historical connections, with a central focus on the American War of Independence, leading up to the shared challenges facing the international community today. An Atlantic focus will be the guiding thread of the sessions, with special emphasis on the evolution of the relationship between Spain and North America.
The international conference on the Historical Links between Spain and North America focuses on the humanities and social sciences areas of study. The event is jointly organized by the Instituto Franklin, the City College of New York (CUNY): Division of Interdisciplinary Studies at CWE, and the Instituto Cervantes New York (Cervantes Institute NYC).
