[Commlist] Vista | Call for papers | Visual culture and social change

*Vista | Call for papers | Visual culture and social change*

**

Images play a fundamental role in social, political and cultural 
upheavals. The visual arts can unleash mindsets and reshape worldviews 
as forms of action, political expression and identity. They can be used 
to transform communities and societies.

This thematic section of /Vista/ is dedicated to understanding the arts 
in their broadest sense, looking at artistic manifestations that 
challenge assumptions and the status quo, reshape mindsets and promote 
the improvement of social systems.

We invite the academic community to submit proposals that encompass 
critical dialogues on visual arts and the public, on the workings of the 
arts at their intersection with creativity, justice, imagination and 
metamorphosis. We encourage proposals for papers based on scientific 
research work and that address the following themes: cultures, visual 
arts and human rights; visual arts as activism; visual culture, 
community, resistance and liberation; artists as agents of social 
change; visual arts and education.
