[Commlist] VRN Residency & Conference 2022 "Encounters with the Urban Night"

Wed Mar 16 10:03:29 GMT 2022







We are delighted to share this opportunity and invite you to be part of the Visual Research Network's 2022 Residency and Conference...

Call for applications, films and papers:
*"Encounters with the Urban Night: multisensory ethnographies of shadow and alterity"*

Deadline for submissions:*April 7th 2022*
Notification of selection: *April 20th 2022*
The Residency:*June 12th–16th 2022*
The Conference: *June 18th–19th 2022*

The *Visual Research Network*, in association with the *Estonian National Museum*, will hold the 3rd edition of the *VRN Residency and Conference*in Tartu, Estonia from *June 12th to June 19th, 2022*. This year’s theme of *Urban Night*invites researchers and creative practitioners to engage with the alternative dimensions of the urban as encountered in their research, fieldwork or artistic productions, where the notion of an urban night is explored within the broadest framing of cultural, social, behavioural and sensorial phenomena.

This event will seek to showcase new perspectives and approaches that visual/sensory practitioners, researchers and PhD students are currently employing in their work and/or seeking to explore in new contexts. The format of a residency/conference creates an ideal environment to explore various approaches to both theory and practice, with each shaping and influencing the other through a cycle of action and reflection.

With pandemic–related restrictions being lifted around the world, the VRN invites researchers and practitioners to Tartu just before summer solstice and the shortest night of the year, to study the urban night in a moment of resurgence. For the conference, the VRN is looking for films of all lengths and research paper abstracts that tie together themes of alterity, identity and sensoriality within the context of the nocturnal, especially those that deal with elements of the urban night. Meanwhile, participants in the residency will be aiming to produce original work that revolves around the same themes of alterity, identity and sensoriality, but specifically in the context of Tartu’s urban night.

To enrich participants’ experience, the VRN advocates for visual, sonic, experimental, multisensory and cross-disciplinary knowledge. The encounters that the residency and conference promise represent an opportunity for anthropologists, sensory research practitioners and artists to broaden their horizons toward new methodologies and sensibilities through a shared, collaborative learning experience. We welcome submissions from applicants for either or both the residency and conference.
