WCC Call for Abstracts for the 2027 SCS/AIA Meeting!! Abstracts due by Feb. 15, 2026

As feminist art historians and activists have long demonstrated, women are exponentially more likely
to be the subject of traditional art than the creators of it (htt{2s:,,(/www.g1Jerrillagirls.com/). Specific
references to female artists from Greco-Roman antiquity are rare. Pliny catalogues five women
painters (HN 35.147-148; Kampen 1975; Linderski 2003), including Iaia of Cyzicus who painted other
women and self-portraits (Micheli 2024). The Classical Athenian 'Caputi hydria' may depict a woman
decorating a vessel and a tiny number of Campanian frescoes survive showing women painting (e.g.,
PPM 5.414= MNN 9017, Naples). Women's artistry may be recorded but obliquely: Pliny notes that the
potter Butades first discovered ceramic portraiture by tracing the silhouette that his unnamed
daughter had drawn of her lover on a rock-wall (Pliny HN 35.152).
Moving beyond a narrative that centres the named artist allows for a more expansive understanding of
art-making in the ancient world (Squire 2015). As Murray suggests when discussing early Greece, many
more women in the ancient world must have made art (Murray et al, 2020). How were women and girls
part of creative artistic and artisanal working practices, conceived broadly across any medium as the
expressive use of shape, gesture, color, or materials? Can we find women participating in ateliers, in
material sourcing, in design? As sponsors, as owners, as assistants, as accidental creators or
destroyers? Can a focus on gender make us re-think the history of art, craft, and design in the ancient
world?
This panel invites papers that explore any aspect of women as art-makers in antiquity. We also
welcome papers on the reception of ancient women art-makers in later times and places. We
particularly welcome innovative theoretical, methodological, or arts-based approaches.
If you have questions about the panel topic or proposals, contact Sarah Blake (sblake@yorku.ca). Please
send abstracts that follow the guidelines for individ…

WCC Virtual Conference: Embodying Women’s Colonial Experiences February 28, 2025 Full conference info available here! www.wccclassics.org/wcc-virtual-...

WCC Virtual Conference: Embodying Women's Colonial Experiences

Date: Friday 28 February 2025, 8:30 am - 4:00 pm Eastern

Organizers: Savannah Sather Marquardt and Maddelena Scarperi

Keynote Speaker: Giulia Saltini Semerari, University of Michigan

Description: This virtual conference seeks investigations of the woman’s body (broadly defined) and embodied experiences of womanhood in ancient Mediterranean colonial, middle ground, and hybrid spaces where what it meant to be ‘woman,’ ‘man’, ‘Greek,’ 'Roman,' or 'barbarian' was subject to constant, creative negotiation and redefinition.

How did ancient (“indigenous”) women challenge naturalized Greco-Roman notions of the feminine body and re-shape the articulations of womanhood? How has the role of women in colonial contexts been represented, silenced, erased or marginalized in the extant evidence and in modern scholarship? How and under which conditions can the bod(il)y (of) experiences of these women be recovered, reassembled, or re-membered?
