Call for contributions

for

SOUND:GENDER:FEMINISM:ACTIVISM – TOKYO

Chinretsukan Gallery, Tokyo University of the Arts (Tokyo, Japan)

4 – 5 October 2019

A collaboration between

Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP), University of the 
Arts London

Graduate School of Global Arts (GA), Tokyo University of the Arts

Deadline for proposals: 17 June 2019

We are pleased to announce a call for contributions to 
SOUND::GENDER::FEMINISM::ACTIVISM (SGFA) – Tokyo, a research event 
investigating scholarly and artistic research in the context of sound in 
all its various creative and theoretical forms, gender and activism.

This open call welcomes responses from all relevant disciplines and in a 
variety of formats from short academic presentations to more 
experimental contributions. These may include sound works, moving image 
work, performances etc.

Our aim is to share research with a view to establishing a network of 
researchers and practitioners working in these areas in Japan and 
beyond. The final format of the event will be generated around the 
contributions received.

SGFA was originally initiated in 2012 by researchers and artists based 
at the Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP) research 
centre at the University of Arts London (UAL). CRiSAP’s aim is to extend 
the development of the emerging disciplinary field of sound arts and to 
encourage the broadening and deepening of the discursive context in 
which sound arts is practiced. Sound::Gender::Feminism::Activism is part 
of ongoing research into historic and contemporary feminist discourses 
in sound and experimental music that we have been conducting with 
various collaborators. This research aims to expand and to question the 
place and performance of activism within the discourses and practices of 
sound arts, sound-based arts and experimental musics that are engaged 
with gender, feminist and queer politics and to contribute to a growing 
network of researchers and practitioners working in these areas. 
Different incarnations of SGFA took place in London in 2012, 2014 and 
2016 attracting a diverse range of international presenters and attendees.

SGFA-Tokyo is a collaboration between CRiSAP, University of the Arts 
London and the Graduate School of Global Arts (GA) at Tokyo University 
of the Arts, initiated by Japanese artist Tomoko Hojo, and seeks to 
extend the already existing international network.

Proposals and presentations will be accepted in English and Japanese. 
Please send expressions of interest (including your name, affiliation, 
contact details), a description of the theme, topic and format of your 
presentation (maximum 150 words) and a short biography (maximum 100 
words) by midnight 17 June 2019 to (sgfa-tokyo /at/ crisap.org) 
<mailto:(sgfa-tokyo /at/ crisap.org)>.
