This essay considers the ways in which Covid-19 has accelerated the crisis of the conference – for our purposes generally understood as a scientific-academic meeting. The pandemic has added a new dimension – the epidemiological – to economic, social and ecological criticisms that were already being formulated with regard to this type of event. On the other hand, conferences had, since the 19th century, a central role in the creation of a global network of academic development and cooperation. With the recent upsurge of denialist and xenophobic positions worldwide, it is imperative to preserve and even expand supranational interchanges. This essay seeks to draft possible alternatives to the traditional format of conferences, paying special attention to the fields of art and art history.
