About this event
Please join us for our fourth Fall 2025 Visiting Artists+Scholars Lecture Series in the Department of Art, Art History & Design with Zoe Weldon-Yochim.
Zoe Weldon-Yochim is Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She researches how artists engage the entangled histories of ecological harm, militarized landscapes, and nuclear infrastructures. Her book-in-progress, Atomic Afterlives, Earthly Hauntings: American Art and Nuclear Remains, examines how contemporary art gives form to the lingering presence of nuclear activity to grapple with what remains, what’s been forgotten, and how these histories continue to shape our world. She has published in Third Text, the Journal for Curatorial Studies, and other venues. Her work has been supported by the Henry Luce Foundation and American Council of Learned Societies, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, and the College Art Association, among others.
