Call for Presentations for CARPA7

The seventh biennial international conference Colloquium on Artistic Research in Performing Arts (CARPA7) will be held on 26-28 August 2021 with a pre-conference on 25 August 2021.

Elastic Writing in Artistic Research, CARPA7, is arranged in a hybrid format that allows for both remote online attendance and limited live attendance at the conference venue, the Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki. Owing to the COVID19 pandemic, the academy will continue to monitor closely and act on the advice of the World Health Organization as well as authorities in Finland and other countries.

The conference invites artist-researchers (individually, as pairs or in panels) from diverse environments to submit presentation proposals related to the themes of the conference’s three different strands (submission link).

The conference addresses its thematic through a threefold grid: Forms of Writing (with No Hands), Dis(guised) Writing and Techno-Writing. Proposals must be formulated around the topic of one of these three strands. To introduce timely perspectives on each strand, they each will be addressed by an invited presenter with experience in issues related to writing in, with and about art and artistic research.
