The Center For Latin American Visual Studies

Established in 2009, CLAVIS is a center for the advanced study of modern and contemporary art and visual culture from the Americas. Focusing on research and the training of emerging scholars, it is a space for the creation of original art historical knowledge through intellectual rigor and collaboration across disciplinary and geographic boundaries. CLAVIS leverages the world-class resources at the University of Texas at Austin—including the Benson Library, Blanton Museum of Art, Ransom Center, and scholars of Latin American and Latinx studies across campus—to build bridges with colleagues and the public.
