Associate Professor Antonia Thomas ended last week in Aberdeen, where she was one of the invited speakers at the Nuart Plus conference.

Her paper, Nine Centuries of Graffiti in the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, looked at the diverse forms of mark-making seen across the World Heritage Site.

Nuart Plus, an umbrella term for Nuart’s activities outside of physical art production, consists of an international research program, a peer-reviewed journal and other publications, artist presentations, panel debates, workshops, education programs, film screenings and more.

It features contributions from some of the world’s leading street artists alongside academics, authors, researchers, curators, producers, writers and other cultural-sector professionals who are dedicated to exploring issues surrounding new forms of art and activity in public space.
