about
see/saw is an undergraduate print journal devoted to publishing original research in art history and art criticism. Founded at the University of California, Berkeley, our publication shares innovative critical work biannually to foster intellectual discussion among an international network of students. As art historians, we are committed to diversifying the field and developing intersectional critical analyses of the artistic canon. see/saw is especially open to considerations of art and artists that have been historically erased and underemphasized.
see/saw is opening up applications for H.Art general members to get involved in the editorial and design process for the 2024-2025 journal cycle.
