[Commlist] International Visual Methods Conference 2021 and 2023

Tue Oct 08 21:03:55 GMT 2019





The International Visual Methods Conference has been held every two years since 2009. The conferences have demonstrated the enthusiasm of an interdisciplinary community of visual scholars and practitioners to come together for an international event to share ideas and techniques across disciplinary boundaries. The 2019 conference was hosted successfully by the College of Communications and Public Relations at the National University of Political Studies, Bucharest, Romania from 16th to 19th July 2019. It followed on from conferences hosted in Singapore (2017), Brighton (2015) and Wellington (2013). I am delighted to confirm that the 2021 Conference will be hosted by Cape Peninsula University of Technology and District Six Museum in Cape Town during December 2021. The Visual Methods International Steering Committee includes academics and practitioners from Europe, North America and Australasia. It deferred a decision on the host for the 2023 Conference at its meeting in Bucharest. We are now inviting Expressions of Interest in an opportunity to host the 8th International Visual Methods conference in 2023. As the 2021 Conference will be hosted in the global south our expectation is that the 2023 conference will be held in Europe or North America. The deadline for responses is 31st October.

Expressions of Interest be sent as four pages of A4 in .pdf to: Dr. Mark Dunford via (Mark /at/ Digi-Tales.org.uk). Proposals should include: • The names, positions and contact details for all the proposed organiser’s team (with one contact designated as liaison). • Your vision of how to build on the success of the conference series, maintaining or extending the most recent event’s inclusive and creative emphases • Proposed dates of the conference in 2021 or 2023 • A summary statement on amenities of proposed venue(s) and benefits of location (please include public transport options including times from nearest international airport to main venues/accommodation) • Links to proposers’ resume and institution(s) where they are proposing to host the conference • Indicative funding commitments that proposers’ have to support the event (secured or signed institutional commitment will be required at final proposal stage) • If necessary, an assessment of risks to the conference viability or delegates’ safety and proposals for mitigating them. Any questions to (Mark /at/ Digi-Tales.org.uk). Applicants will be informed of a decision on the 2023 conference by Friday 20th December 2019.
