Aptly named after the first Professor of Art History at Oxford University, the Edgar Wind Society exists to make the subject accessible, engaging and enjoyable for everyone. The society is founded and run by students.
We aim to encourage engagement with art history beyond the academic study and want to offer an environment wherein one can foster an interest and take a fresh look at art. Art history is a rich, interdisciplinary subject and we are keen to embrace wider visual culture and its interaction with various media and practices.
There is no shortage of exciting and diverse events to attend. Ranging from hosting renowned speakers such as Jeff Koons, Ai Wei Wei, Cornelia Parker and Rachel Whiteread, to private curator-led gallery tours, to film screenings and social evenings, there is something for everyone at the Edgar Wind!
