Call for proposals: VIS Issue 9, theme "Of Memory and Public Space"

The call for VIS – Nordic Journal for Artistic Research issue 9 is open between 20 April and 1 June 2022. The theme is “Of Memory and Public Space” and editors are Serge von Arx and Eliot Moleba.

They are interested in the artistic practices of researchers, artists and architects, whose work is both celebrating and questioning the role of art in dealing with collective memory. How can and does artistic work help us to reflect, identify and reveal our society and add meaning to our cities? How can interception in the public sphere trigger a response in the form of an action or a movement for us to relate and engage with the histori(es) and memori(es) embedded within public spaces? In other words, what is it that we decide to remember, what do we ignore and what do we choose to forget?
