[Commlist] CFP: International Visual Methods Conference

We are pleased to announce that the 10th International Visual Methods 
Conference (IVMC) will be held at Teesside University, Middlesborough, 
UK from 24-27 March 2027.

The conference will follow MIMA’s (Middlesbrough Institute of Modern 
Art) hosting of the Turner Prize in Autumn 2026 and will offer further 
opportunity to showcase the vibrant and culturally diverse town of 
Middlesbrough and Tees Valley region.

The conference theme 'People, Place, Narrative' foregrounds the 
entanglements of visuality, lived experience, and spatio-temporal 
narratives. Building on recent editions focused on bridging 
perspectives, transitions, and generational shifts, IVMC27 will 
spotlight community-led visual methods, collaborative storytelling, and 
the politics of representation across urban, rural, and hybrid environments.

Organisers aim to advance the field by exploring decolonial, ecological, 
and participatory approaches to visual inquiry, forging connections 
between people’s lived narratives and the places they inhabit or imagine.

IVMC attracts scholars and academics from diverse disciplines, including 
art, design, sociology, museum studies, media studies, business and 
economics, education, psychology, geography, cultural studies, history, 
and computer science. It also welcomes practitioners in art, education, 
curation, performance, community spaces, and social innovation, creating 
a collaborative space for global knowledge exchange.

Co-chaired by Antonia Liguori and Sally Blackburn-Daniels, the event 
will build on the work of the Institute for Collective Place Leadership 
at Teesside University and regional cultural partners, offering a 
platform for international exchange and for showcasing the creativity 
and diversity of the Tees Valley.

Further details, including calls for contributions and registration 
information, will be announced in due course on the conference website:
