Society for Artistic Research | 16th SAR Conference 2025 in Porto
The 16th International Conference on Artistic Research (May 7 - 9, 2025) with the theme “Resonance” is hosted by i2ADS, University of Porto.
Organised in collaboration with the Society of Artistic Research (SAR), it is the largest conference on practice-based research through the arts. The SAR Conference brings together leading practitioners, scholars and policymakers to showcase exemplary artistic research projects while focusing on key issues through critical debate.
The past decade witnessed the appearance of new debating spaces within artistic research. At a time when art and culture, local and global policies and events are haunted by societal challenges as vast as they are unpredictable, what can artistic researchers offer in response to these concerns? How can artistic research resonate beyond its specific contexts and disciplinary borders?
Resonance is a prompt to address the transformative nature of artistic research as a connective element that evokes a response and qualifies our experiences as meaningful.
Presentation formats
There are two formats for presentations of artistic research projects:
Short presentation (20 minutes' lecture + 20 minutes' discussion).
Long presentation (40 minutes' lecture of practice sharing + 30 minutes discussion).
Original and experimental contributions from both individuals and collectives are encouraged.
A call for posters on artistic research projects addressing the Conference theme will be launched separately.
