Message: Hi, Could you please put a link for this conference into a message? Not everyone who might be interested is an AIC member and the attachment now requires that one go through AIC to see it. As I want to pass this along to Turkish colleagues, they will need to be able to access the information directly. Thank you in advance.

The session will also feature an in-person demonstration of chemical analysis of objects from the Clark collection. We will begin by exploring objects from the Clark Library to discuss common analytical questions, processes, and ethics in conservation and heritage science. The discussion will then shift to the investigation of Indigenous items, highlighting other questions, processes, and unique ethical considerations these items demand. The lecture will conclude with a hands-on session where participants can observe the analysis of objects from the Clark collection. This will provide an opportunity to better understand some of the practices and ask specific questions about this fascinating interdisciplinary field. Thiago Puglieri's teaching and research are located at the intersections of art history, chemistry, and conservation. His interests are in technical art history and conservation science, focusing on Indigenous cultural heritage from the Americas. His projects delve into the historical and cultural aspects while also exploring scientific and technological advancements within Indigenous cultures. The investigations involve archival research, chemical characterizations, and engagement with Indigenous communities through community-engaged research. Puglieri teaches and supervises students at the UCLA Department of Art History and the UCLA/Getty Interdepartmental Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage. Puglieri was a scholar at the Getty Research Institute (GRI, 2024–2025), visiting researcher at the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI, 2019–2020), member of the international advisory committee of the project "An International Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science" from NICAS (Netherlands Institute for Conservation, Art, and Science), vice president of ANTECIPA (National Association of Research in Heritage Science and Technology, Brazil), and coordinator of the division "Investigation of Materials, Systems, and Techniques" of the "Technical Commission for Cultural Heritage" of ABENDI (Brazilian Association of Non-Destructive Testing and Inspection). Prior to joining the Department of Art History at UCLA, he was a professor at the Department of Museology, Conservation, and Restoration of the Federal University of Pelotas (Brazil, 2015–2022), where he was teaching and advising students in the Graduate Program of Social Memory and Cultural Heritage. The lecture is free to attend with advance registration. It will be held in-person at the Clark Library and livestreamed on the Center's YouTube Channel <https://www.youtube.com/@ucla-c1718cs>. No registration is required to watch the livestream. Seating is limited at the Clark Library; walk-in registrants are welcome as space permits.
