In the last the field of Art History has been consolidating an important effort to expand its traditional borders and create more inclusive and interconnected narratives. One of the consequences of these debates on a more global history is the new value attributed to local realities and the need to increase their visibility. The Center for the Study of Non-European Art (NEANE-UNICAMP) aims to develop academic research and promote the knowledge about non-European artistic traditions that contribute to the diverse cultural fabric in Latin America and their connections around the globe. It is filliated to the Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences (IFCH) at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP).
