**APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING**
Centre for Chinese Visual Arts (CCVA) is pleased to announce a call-out for their forthcoming conference:
TRANSDISCIPLINARY CHINA:RESEARCH IN PRACTICE
22nd October 2015 - Birmingham City University (BCU), Millennium Point, Birmingham, B4 7XG, UK
This one-day symposium seeks to interrogate the nature and significance of transdisciplinary research and arts practice in and about contemporary China, its arts and culture.
This event will include a screening of CCVA and Chronus Arts fellow Shen Xin’s new project Shoulders of Giants in addition to showcasing research from an open call and invited PhD students, emerging and established artists, academics and researchers from a range of disciplines.
The diverse panel discussions, papers, performances and exhibits will serve to generate discussion and enable us to identify common areas of interest and communities of practice; to share, encourage and support new research as it happens with a global audience. There will also be an opportunity for delegates to share and promote publications related to the conference theme.
The event will consider:
• The nature and the significance of transdisciplinary research and practice, and how these dialogues create new knowledge;
• The importance, impact, influence and potential of transcultural research;
• New ways of framing and discussing Chinese Contemporary Arts that moves beyond the traditional East/West paradigm;
• The significance of practice-based and practice-led research in relation to Chinese contemporary arts and culture.
CCVA invites abstracts and proposals (10 minute slots) that respond to the general theme. We are keen to encourage artist interventions, performances, pop-up exhibitions that can be accommodated within the time frame and ‘format’ of the symposium.
*Please note that we are not able to provide technical assistance or equipment.
Abstracts and proposals of 150-200 words (max), a short biography of 100 words (maximum) and weblink to a maximum of 5 (specified) relevant images/moving image/audio files.
