Professor of Art Véronique Plesch participated in the First International Conference of the European Research Council project Graff-IT, Writing on the Margins: Graffiti in Italy and Beyond (7th–16th c.) with a paper titled “Graffiti on Frescoes: Typology, Models, Metaphors, and Critical Frameworks.” The conference took place April 10-12 at the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR). Prior to the conference, Plesch taught in a graduate course of the same title, also at the KNIR. The course, coordinated by Prof. Marco Mostert from Utrecht University, gathered nine selected research M.A./Ph.D. students in classics, (art) history, general and comparative literature, heritage studies, cultural studies, or related disciplines from the KNIR partner universities (Universiteit van Amsterdam, Vrije Universiteit, Universiteit Leiden, Universiteit Utrecht, Radboud Universiteit, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen). Plesch was one of five lecturers (other faculty members came from Dutch and Italian universities) and lectured on “Graffiti and the History of Art.” The course took place April 5-13 (“enveloping” the international conference), and Plesch taught her course on April 9 and also participated in a visit to Jewish catacombs with the students.
