Date: Friday, March 11, 2022

Abstract
People with different cultures come into contact with each other, and the contacts can go well or they can go badly. If justice is goodness in the arrangement of social life, then arrangements of social life that shape cultural contact can be just or unjust. This lecture introduces a new way to think about contact between people with different aesthetic cultures. Arrangements of aesthetic life are unjust if they frustrate interests in what I call "value diversity" or "social autonomy.” To see this, I reflect on Canada’s reception of Bill Reid’s bronze, The Spirit of Haida Gwaii.
