We invite submissions to the International Visual Sociology Association 
Conference 2027, A Dance of Perception: The Symbiosis of Image and 
Sound, taking place in Cardiff, Wales, from 30 June to 3 July 2027.

The conference explores how image and sound interact to produce social 
meaning, shape perception and influence how we understand everyday life. 
We welcome contributions from media, communication and cultural studies, 
film and digital media, documentary practice, audiovisual ethnography 
and related fields.

Possible topics include:

The politics of soundtrack, music and sound design in visual narratives

Ethnographic film and the ethics of audiovisual representation

Digital cultures, social media aesthetics and synthetic media

Sound, image and performance in ritual and everyday life

Memory, identity, emotion and audiovisual archives

AI-generated soundscapes, deepfakes and authenticity

Practice-led and participatory approaches to audiovisual research

Submissions are welcome as 15-minute papers, interactive workshops, 
posters, exhibition installations and films. Practice-led and 
early-career researchers are particularly encouraged to participate.

Abstract deadline: 30 November 2026.
