“Animating Change”

The 35th Society for Animation Studies Conference will be hosted at the 
University of New South Wales, Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture 
from July 1st to July 4th, 2024.

The conference theme, “Animating Change” aims to shed light on the power 
of animation in representing and amplifying voices and stories. Indeed, 
the conference wishes to explore in particular, how animation can break 
away from traditional narratives and forms and embrace a more inclusive 
and progressive approach. The conference draws upon animation's ability 
to comment on political issues, social inequalities, or environmental 
concerns and its effectiveness in conveying complex messages.

Although we welcome submissions on any topic within the field of 
animation studies, we particularly encourage proposals that delve into 
topics including animation and politics, ecological concerns, First 
Nations perspectives, global and transnational animation, cultural 
diversity, gender representation, LGBTIQ+ discussion, disability and 
crip perspectives in animation, and the portrayal of marginalized 
communities in animation. Participants can examine the impact of diverse 
narratives in fostering empathy, challenging stereotypes, exploring 
diversity and promoting social change.

Topics could include (but are not limited to):

   *   Diversity and Inclusion
   *   Emerging interdisciplinary directions
   *   Redefinitions and revisions of animation concepts
   *   Animation memories
   *   Animation and Politics
   *   Speculative animation
   *   Motion studies and motion capture
   *   Sound and animation
   *   Global and transnational expansions, Diaspora
   *   First Nations perspectives and animation
   *   Gender and LGBTIQ+ animation
   *   Evolution of animation
   *   Animation in learning and teaching
   *   Animation ecologies
   *   Sustainability or eco-criticism in animation
   *   Experimental animation
   *   Expanded animation and media art contexts
   *   Approaches to animation include Game design, Artificial 
intelligence, Hybrid production modes, Virtual Production and 
Experiential animation.
   *   Animated installations.
   *   Design Perspectives in Animation
   *   Acting for animation
   *   Hand-made animation

Through presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and exhibitions, 
the conference hopes to inspire new collaborations and innovative 
approaches to ensure that animation continues to evolve as a medium that 
celebrates the richness of human experiences.

We are open to the following submissions:

   *   20-minute conference papers: 300-word abstract, 3–5
