This is a final reminder for the open call.
The International Visual Methods Conference has been held every 2 years since 2009. The conferences have demonstrated the enthusiasm of an interdisciplinary community of visual scholars and practitioners to come together for an international event to share ideas and techniques across disciplinary boundaries. 
The 2019 conference was hosted successfully by the College of Communications and Public Relations at the National University of Political Studies, Bucharest, Romania from 16th to 19th July 2019. It followed on from conferences hosted in Singapore (2017), Brighton (2015) and Wellington (2013).  The 2021 Conference will be hosted by Cape Peninsula University of Technology and District Six Museum in Cape Town during December 2021. 
The Visual Methods International Steering Committee includes academics and practitioners from Europe, North America and Australasia. It deferred a decision on the host for the 2023 Conference at its meeting in Bucharest. We are now inviting Expressions of Interest in an opportunity to host the 8th International Visual Methods conference in 2023. As the 2021 Conference will be hosted in the global south our expectation is that the 2023 conference will be held in Europe or North America. The deadline for responses is 31st October.
Expressions of Interest be sent as four pages of A4 in .pdf to: Dr. Mark Dunford via [log in to unmask]
