[Commlist] International Visual Methods Conference 2021 and 2023

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).

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
