Open Call

Issue #6 / Spring 2026

Theme: Resonance +

Editors: Filipa Cruz, Manuela Bronze and Orlando Vieira Francisco.

Submission deadline: September 30, 2025

Why Resonance, again? Why revisit it after the SAR 2025 Conference in Porto? Because resonance lingers. It is the aftereffect, the ongoing ripple that continues to shape how we experience and respond to the world.

To face the existence of an absent presence — Resonance — is a way to think about the materialities of artistic practice, looking back on H. Rosa’s four crucial elements: affection; emotion; transformation and uncontrollability to understand the transformative potentials of the artwork.

About the Submissions:

As the SAR 2025 Conference begins, we invite contributions that explore resonance through artistic research. Your submission may:

• 1. Derive from or expand upon the perspective you presented at SAR 2025, transforming it into an exhibition.
• 2. Engage with the theme of resonance independently, inspired by its relevance to artistic practice.

Submit your proposal via Research Catalogue by September 30, 2025.

How to Submit your Proposal
