Dear all,
Because of your questions about the online format of our encounters/conference, here for all of you, brief and updated information.
Drifting bodies - Fluent spaces. Online meeting/conference about Walking Arts. Guimaraes, Portugal 21-25 July 2020. EAUM/Lab2PT/University of Minho - Made of Walking (VII)
Main themes:
drift/psychogeography, as subversive practice, as an urban game – playfulness and risk
the fluid body and senses, (re)writing and (re)reading the city through the body
emptiness – silence, exploring these as transformative elements of places and situations
walking stories, looking into walking narratives and their intermedia translations
Seen the change in format we still accept your brief proposals till May 15th, but preferably as soon as possible.
We are looking forward to brief summaries (150 - 200 words) for
"audio papers" (the full text and graphics will be published in an online publication, a selection will be published in paper format). On this way we provide a format that can be listened to during walking. Audio papers may have a performative or sound aesthetic layer, but can be as well a simple voice recording of a written paper/text.
hybrid/online walkshops and walking performances
works of art that can be presented in a digital format / online exhibition
In consideration of the needs of the cultural and art community that is hit hard by the pandemic, we waive the conference fee for freelancers with no regular income or creatives that have lost their income.
For affiliated researchers the conference fee is 40 euros.
We look forward to your proposals, feedback or comments.
All the best,
a call for art to change the climate of our minds
