DESCRIPTION:Making Art in the Light and Shadow of Historical Trauma\n	Tamar 
 Garb (Durning Lawrence Professor of History of art and Director of the Ins
 titute of Advanced Studies\, University College London)\n	\n	Abstract: My pa
 per explores the role of selected artworks in addressing the historical tr
 auma of ‘race’. Focussing on three works by South African artists Santu Mo
 fokeng\, Zaneli Muholi and Berni Searle\, I explore the ways in which thei
 r art complicates identitarian politics by staging ‘selves’ that are forma
 lly and psychically inflected by posited ‘others’. By placing themselves i
 n a relationship of ‘sympathy’ with strangers\, these artists dislodge the
  sage boundaries and secure separations that legislated difference entails
 . They offer neither therapeutic redress nor reparation for past injury bu
 t instead provide a poetic space for working through and questioning ongoi
 ng separation and suffering.\n	\n	Bio: Tamar Garb is Durning Lawrence Profes
