ART/CONFLICT is a combined conference and international exhibition taking place in Sydney, Australia. The conference focuses on the intersections between art, war and conflict, and considers diverse forms of creative resistance against state violence and/or in the service of decolonial struggles for sovereignty. The conference will be held from 16th to 18th November at University of Technology Sydney, and the exhibition will be spread across UTS and Sydney community spaces: Thirning Villa and Atlas, throughout November.

Participants are invited to engage with one or several of the following conference themes:


  *   The ethics of artistic and/or media representations around state violence and conflict, including film, music, performance, visual arts, and plastic arts
  *   Publics and counter-publics, participatory art, and emerging forms of artistic dissemination and collaboration
  *   Postcolonial and decolonial approaches to arts and aesthetics, including trauma-informed aesthetic theory and arts practice
  *   The social role(s) of artists in relation to state violence, human rights advocacy, peacekeeping projects, and post-conflict transitions
  *   Curatorship, transforming institutions, and organisational challenges in the GLAM sector
  *   Feminist approaches to arts and aesthetics in the context of war, violence, and human rights advocacy

The conference welcomes traditional academic papers and practice-led research from academics and non-academics working in and around spaces of conflict.  The symposium welcomes submissions by individual speakers as well as panel proposals. Panel proposals must identify a Chair, 2-3 speakers, and may include a discussant.  Workshop formats also welcome.
