CALL FOR PAPERS - What Will Be? Strategies, Practices and Performances in social arts

We invite scholars, curators, researchers, and graduate students working in the field of arts to submit paper to the conference What Will Be? International Academic Conference Lisbon, Portugal 21-22 October 2019 Call is open from 1 June until 15 July 2019 This international conference will critically explore crossroads of social art and its potential to interact and produce political and social change while maintaining an integrated view point of the arts and the academy. It may be said that the expansion of participation in the artistic sphere emphasizes a creative and less ideology-driven desire (in relation to the traditional 'ideological' protest model) from the citizens to become independent – the need to citizens to articulate their own issues “and find ever more inventive modes of taking part in the processes that are determining their lives” (Rogoff and Schneider, 2008). WWB? project will provide for this venue: An open public space debate auditorium at the Torre de Belém Garden next to the small lake that once held the monument to the air cross of the south Atlantic. As a conference devoted to social arts, the format is site specific oriented. The performance set will challenge the custom unilateral communication presented in scientific events in order to re-enact interaction between participants, speakers, general public or passers-by. After this, What Will Be, will be? We do not know! Full information in regards to the call including editorial guideline, submission etc: https://whatwillbeconference.weebly.com/call-for-papers.html
