text/image. 1 hour of each seminar will be devoted to the poster 
presentations from the audience.

We would like to see your statement (300 words max. + 1 image as 
jpg/tif) outline how your work demonstrates this intervention in these 
debates in art and craft practices, pedagogy, theory, history or 
criticism or curatorial projects. If you are involved in feminist art

groups, collectives, campaigns or actions.

you are working with.

relevant. Email contacts will not be published.

All contributions sent will be presented in a booklet produced to 
accompany the 2022 research seminars which will be published online.

Opportunities to present (5 min. poster speeches) will be given to 
contributors where the themes of their research align to the seminar 
topics. Each seminar will have its own poster session for interventions 
from contributors. Please identify which seminar best suits your work.

Please take this opportunity to present a visual art project past or 
present or a body of practical or theoretical work in fine art/textiles 
which addresses de-/anti-/post-colonial feminist thought on any subject, 
media, approach.

Deadline for all contributions: 5 June 2022.

These seminars have been organised with the belief that feminism needs 
to represent its own pluri-versality as it continues to redefine 
local/global politics through its alliances and maintain its allegiances 
to diverse ways of thinking and making. De-/Anti-/Post-Colonial thought 
contains many different tactics, approaches and spheres of influence in 
visual arts and textiles. Feminist work in de-/anti-/post-colonial 
thought has pursued a long-standing critique of the blindspots on gender 
in configurations of modernity/coloniality; in postcolonial and critical 
race theory scholarship; in black feminist and anti-racist, 
anti-homophobic thought; and is evident in black, third-world, global 
majority, post-Soviet as well as indigeneous histories and movements. 
These complex interventions redefine feminist intersectionality and 
queer theory away from their configurations solely in nation-states, 
area studies or world systems theories, searching for other ways to 
re-imagine global connections, histories and cultural developments, as 
well as systems of belonging or referencing, to envisage new forms of 
planetary visions of space and time, past and present. It is in this 
spirit of acknowledging and making visible the range of this work that 
we have organised these seminars.
