The prevalence of imagery in the built environment plays a meaningful 
role in our experience of urban space. The nature of that imagery — the 
content depicted, colours contrasted against sky or concrete, text 
displayed to sell, alert, or inspire — all works to construct how we 
understand the values and expectations of our surroundings. Who gets to 
create that imagery? What narratives and voices are amplified?

Big Pictures: Murals, Billboards, and Urban Interventions is a 
conference of art and design taking place at the Wilson School of Design 
at KPU, Richmond, and in venues around Vancouver, BC from May 5–7, 2023.

We are seeking submissions for 300-word proposals presenting projects or 
research for our in-person panels. Each panel presentation will run 
approximately 10-15 minutes, with supplementary time for questions.

In addition, we welcome pre-recorded digital submissions of 
project-based work. These will be projected during the conference, as 
well as available for viewing on the Big Pictures website. Videos can be 
any length up to a maximum of five minutes. They can include text and/or 
audio — with closed captioning for any narration. Video can focus mainly 
on documenting projects, or take a more creative approach.
