Submissions Open │ Hunar Symposia Conference: An exploration of art and conflict

March 28, 2022Call for Papers

Submissions are now open for Hunar Symposia’s inaugural conference on 16 -18 November 2022 Hunar believes that art, in all its forms, functions in a similar way, serving as a bridge between our utopic desires and the concrete possibilities for change.

Hunar seeks to foreground the importance of creative work in producing imaginative, humorous, provocative, and unpredictable responses to conflicts both past and present. In this context, we challenge researchers […]

Or to be unruly, to break the rules, to experiment and to push the boundaries. We might characterise resistance as that revolutionary impulse that Audre Lorde writes about, […]
