Faculty of Arts – Chulalongkorn University Bangkok, Thailand

The conference will explore the interplay of innovative approaches to research in and through the arts and the formation of creative communities. It asks for contributions that consider how various modes of artistic research can enrich community life and how communities contribute to new ways of artistic knowing and doing. We invite proposals that engage a range of artistic practices, concepts and research methods, and connect to, affect, generate, challenge, and reconstitute community life.

Taking an inclusive approach to artistic research, this conference welcomes contributors working in modes of artistic practice such as architecture, design, fine art, media and digital arts, music and performing arts, creative writing, circus, and inter- and trans-disciplinary work. We encourage proposals from diverse voices and perspectives, whether from academic institutions, artistic collectives, civil society organizations, or independent researchers or artists, particularly those from the Asia Pacific region. We seek contributors to share their innovative modes research and practice, help to foster critical dialogue and collaboration, and to explore the transformative potential of Artistic Research for (re)generating thriving and sustainable communities.
