Andr\u00e9 Breton, one of the founding figures of Surrealism, emphasizes the transformative and disruptive power of Surrealist art and thought in his famous quote:<\/p>\n
\u201cBeauty will be convulsive, or it will not be at all.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And this is precisely what we are inviting you to explore with us!<\/p>\n
We are delighted to announce our forthcoming conference,\u00a0Surrealism and Arts-Based Research: Bridging the Imagination and Reality Divide<\/em>, where we will explore the captivating and enigmatic world of Surrealism across multiple disciplines. This transdisciplinary conference invites scholars, creatives, researchers, and practitioners to explore the enigmatic, the dreamlike, and the fantastical in their respective fields through the lens of Surrealism. We aim to come together to explore, discuss, and unveil the depths of the unconscious mind as it manifests in surrealist creativity and extends into various aspects of human existence.<\/p>\n
Surrealism, with its roots in the early 20th century, continues to inspire and challenge artists and scholars across a wide range of disciplines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This conference, therefore, aims to bring together scholars, creatives, and other arts-based researchers from different disciplines working on topics related to transdisciplinarity, with a focus on the bridging of science with the arts. You may be a scientist or a medical practitioner who writes poems and stories or takes on another art (such as music, sculpture, the visual arts, etc.) or alternatively, you may be a creative inspired by science, or a practioner in a field that utilises creative approaches for scientific purposes\u2014so the intertwining of your thoughts, ideas, and creativity are welcome, and we can\u2019t wait to hear about your work that combines your creativity with science!<\/p>\n
Send us your proposals by August 31st. Presenters can either share academic papers and\/or creative work (poetry, prose, photography, music, painting, etc.), as we highly encourage arts-based research. We welcome proposals from scholars (of all disciplines), creatives, graduate students, practitioners and professionals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":113805,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"mec_category":[166,542],"mec_speaker":[],"class_list":["post-113804","mec-events","type-mec-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mec_category-conference","mec_category-webinar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
