The outsider artist, the self-taught artist and the figure of the so-called artista popular in Latin America, are among those artistic subjectivities that have been excluded or marginalised from the grand narratives of modernism and contemporary art. Speakers in this panel present curatorial and scholarly perspectives that have blurred the boundaries between fine and applied arts or craft, making way for the vernacular and the popular.
