Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, May 25–27, 2026
Deadline: Feb 3, 2026

This working group addresses the intersections between art, science, and 
technology of the Afro-Atlantic Triangle, exploring the importance of 
the African diaspora. In science, technology, and the visual arts, Black 
personalities have played roles of great importance in the construction 
of historical memory and collective identity. These personalities, for 
many centuries, were made invisible due to the colonial historical past. 
Challenging dominant narratives and serving as centers of activism, this 
WG seeks to examine the multifaceted nature of these artists and their 
contributions to the ongoing struggle for social change and diversity. 
We invite proposals that explore (but are not limited to): historical 
narratives and counter-narratives, transcontinental cultural relations, 
artist migration, artworks, curation, and exhibition strategies; works 
that question canonical readings of (Western) art history, as well as 
collecting practices and archive organization are also welcome. Examples 
of questions to be raised are: How can practices be reinvented in a new 
context? How do artists negotiate their migrant identity in new geographies?

To submit your proposal, it is mandatory that the author, or at least 
one of the authors, be a master’s or Ph.D. student or have a master’s or 
Ph.D. degree. Furthermore, the abstracts (up to 150 words) must be sent 
in the template made available on the Congress website in BLIND
REVIEW (i.e., without the identification of the author(s) in the 
document, to enable its evaluation by the WG coordinators) in the 
assessment by 3 February 2026, in .doc or .docx file format, through the
