SKETCHING IN PRACTICE 2016 CALL FOR SUBMISSION

Symposium on Thinking Visually

Important dates:
Proposal submission deadline extended: Fri, April 29
Notification date: May 15, 2016
Symposium date: June 24, 2016

SKETCHING IN PRACTICE is a one-day symposium bringing together practitioners from a broad range of disciplines that think through drawing. In this experiential, full day gathering, practitioners will explore the fundamental question, what happens when we draw?  Participants can expect to learn and share ways of working, thinking, tools and techniques and will have the opportunity to work collaboratively.

We encourage paper and demo submissions that relate to the symposium topics, including the following:

• Drawing to see. The use of drawing in unique fields to highlight information and/or knowing that is unobtainable through other means of documentation.
• Drawing to communicate. The use of drawing in unique fields to communicate information and/or knowing that is unobtainable through other means.
• The reemergence of drawing in disciplines such as design and anthropology.
• Work that explores the dual role of words and images to express ideas, experiences and knowledge.
• The experimental use of drawing to express the range of human experience.

The $20.00 registration fee will be waived for all accepted presenters. For all others, who are interested in attending, registration will open on May 02 2016 via the Sketching In Practice website [https://sketchpractice.ca/blog/].

Please see the website at https://sketchpractice.ca/blog/call-for-proposals/ for a full list of submission requirements. Preference will be given to proposals that are interactive and/or demonstrate unique ways of engaging the audience. All attendees are encouraged to bring their sketchbooks to share.

We thank-you for your interest and hope to see you there!
