about

It has an international scope with a particular emphasis on practitioner methodologies and the educational impact of artistic research.

Artistic Practice, Politics and Social Engagement
Artistic Production, Processes and Technological Studies
Arts Education, Critique and Society
Computation, Hybrid Practices and Design

HUB is published twice a year.
Spring issue
The Spring issue is based on a call for varia papers (open-themed articles).
Autumn issue
The Autumn issue is theme based. Themes are proposed by the editorial team or a guest editor. They are based on the potential to prompt new debates on art, design and society, and to engage different fields of artistic research.
We welcome submissions in Portuguese or English. Accepted submissions are published with the title, abstract and keywords in English.
HUB is hosted on the Research Catalogue platform, an international artistic research infrastructure that enables multimedia publication.
