[Commlist] Seeing Through Complexity: Entanglements in Visual Cultures - online conference organized by the ECREA Visual Cultures Section

*Seeing Through Complexity: Entanglements in Visual Cultures*

6 November 2025

A one-day online conference organized by the ECREA Visual Cultures Section

Scholars from 15 different countries will examine entanglements of 
visual cultures with memory, identity, gender, technology, and 
truth-making at this online conference. It will be a day to reflect on 
research objects, methods and interdisciplinarity in visual social 
research. How do visual cultures both reflect and challenge the 
deepening crisis of trust in democratic, scientific, and journalistic 
institutions? What roles do AI-generated images and deepfakes play in 
amplifying or destabilising collective perception? How do images, visual 
narratives, and aesthetic practices participate in shaping collective 
experiences, identities, and histories? In what ways do visual cultures 
and regimes (re)mediate but also disrupt collective memories, ideologies 
and identities? What methodological innovations are needed to “see 
through” complexity in our research?
