POLLEN24 10-12 June 2024, Lund – Sweden. Participatory Visual Methods
Why do we need to engage with visual methods in science? And how do we use visuals for the production of place-based and local knowledge? How can visuals enable knowledge dissemination? Visual participatory research approaches can offer alternative ways to understand local perceptions and experiences of global and local changes, and also give insights into peoples’ emotions, values, and aspirations of change. This exhibition and panel bring together photography, painting, and other types of illustration to showcase visual research methods and arts for investigating and imagining change and development.
We are looking for artists and researchers that apply participatory visual methods to explore and illustrate social-environmental change in contested spaces. The exhibition and panel will address several questions:
This exhibition and panel will showcase a range of visual participatory methods for investigating and reimagining classic themes in political ecology in both the city and rural areas. Together, these visualizations and the accompanying narratives illustrate the power and diversity of arts-based research methods, as they help analyze ongoing processes, highlight marginalized perspectives, and imagine more equitable and sustainable futures.
We are calling for contributions for exhibitions and/or a panel presentation. You are welcome to participate in either of the two or both. Please indicate this when you send your abstract. Abstracts should be around 200 words and sent to Sofie Mortensen, somo@ifro.ku.dk before the 8th of December. We will let you know if you will be included in the exhibition/panel by December 12th, and submit the panel proposal on December 14th to the POLLEN conference.
