NEW SPRING 2022 RESEARCH STUDIO

ArTes: art + technology + science
 

Congratulations to Diane Willow, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Art and Social Practice, for her work with developing ArTeS, a new research studio set to launch at the Regis Center in the spring of 2022. The studio will "prioritize equity and inclusion while centering the arts in research at the intersection of art, technology, and science.” The studio is funded by an Office of the Vice President for Research infrastructure grant as well as catalytic funding from the College of Liberal Arts, the Department of Art, School of Music, and the Theatre Department, along with funds from the College of Science and Engineering and Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the College of Design and the Metropolitan Design Center, the College of Biological Sciences, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the Office of Equity and Diversity.

OPPORTUNITIES
  • Call for Entry - "Documenting a Reckoning" Photo Exhibit - DUE SEPT 12
    The Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the UMN invites all photographers to submit images to a juried exhibit of the events following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. This photography exhibit will examine the long year in the Twin Cities following the death of George Floyd, as documented by professional, community, and student photographers as diverse as our community. The goal is to highlight the people and events that changed the region and showcase powerful images created during that time. Learn how to apply.
     
  • Call for Entry - Women & Water - DUE SEPT 17
    Open Rivers: Rethinking Water, Place & Community invites submissions for our Spring 2022 issue on Women & Water. In myriad ways, women are connected with water—as scientists, as activists and water protectors, as policymakers, as providers, as researchers, and as artists and storytellers. We seek contributions that foreground the complex roles women have in shaping relationships with water, based on critical, thoughtful, and challenging research and engaged practices. We invite submissions from scholars, activists, artists, professionals, policymakers, community members, and practitioners who offer insight on women’s engagement with water broadly conceived. We also welcome work that challenges this framing of women and water and presses for more inclusive, more expansive ways of conceiving of the intersections of gender, sexuality, and water. Learn more about the Women & Water issue and how to apply.
