All formats are invited including but not limited to opinion, critique, discussion, report, performance and video. The duration of sessions is also flexible from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. You may draft a provocation and call for abstracts in response to your provocation. Those could be presented as a series of short format talks within the conference and you may consider assembling the resources to publish those after proceedings. Alternatively, you might facilitate a panel discussion or deliver a short lecture or artist talk.
