Performance Philosophy Problems 2021: Call for participation
The fifth international Performance Philosophy conference will take place on June 9-12, 2021 at the University of the Arts Helsinki. In addition to individual and panel presentations, the conference organisers invite participants for a new organisational model in which keynote speakers will be replaced by collective agencies: key groups (KGs).
The full vision statement can be read on the Performance Philosophy network’s website: https://www.performancephilosophy.org/events/biannual-conference/
A new organisational model: key groups in a key role
Performance Philosophy, as a hybrid from inception, favours alternative and/or collaborative models of working and communication wherein people with different kinds of experience, background and expertise meet and unite their efforts on an equal basis to face problems with both philosophical and artistic bearing. Through the KGs, the conference itself wants to provide its participants with an occasion to witness actual research in the making in a critical and supportive collective setting. In this regard, the event is strongly inspired by the long-term commitment of art academies in Finland to the development of artistic research.
Besides the KG proposals, the conference also welcomes individual proposals for paper presentations, no-paper presentations, lecture demonstrations, lecture performances, workshops, panels and other interventions fitting with the focus of the event and the given circumstances.
