From the team at Critical Animals:
We are now calling for proposals for our 2018 festival, anchored by the theme Give and Take. This year the Critical Animals festival will be presented as part of the TiNA festival in Newcastle, NSW from Thursday 27 to Sunday 30 September.
Do you feel like the world is in the midst of significant change? We do! While this uncertainty might be making us a little nervous, we’re ultimately excited about what’s in store for the future and the role we, and of course you, can play in igniting discussion and action around the issues most pertinent to our time.
Considering this, the Critical Animals 2018 program will explore the theme ‘Give and Take’. If your recent research been exploring this concept or the individual terms within it we encourage you to consider how you might be able to share your ideas, questions, processes, and reflections to provoke discussion at the Critical Animals’ 2018 Symposium.
While your work might not fit within this years theme, as always, we invite anyone whose practice experiments within the experience and interpretation of ‘critical research’. We love programming creative responses of all shapes and sizes and have a flexible definition of research that encompasses creative, experimental, interrogative, discursive, and practice-led approaches. Remember, Critical Animals is about igniting and expanding conversations, so don’t be afraid to pitch your original and unorthodox ideas.
For more information about submitting a proposal, visit our website. Submit proposals and ideas via our Proposal Form or e-mailed to us by Sunday 31 March, 2018. Any questions should be emailed to us at criticalanimals@gmail.com.
