Stockholm University of the Arts
Alliances and Commonalities 2024 conference programme release
Welcome to the fourth iteration of Alliances and Commonalities, Stockholm University of the Arts’ biannual international artistic research conference.
When: 17–19 October, 2024
Where: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH), Valhallavägen 189 and 193, Stockholm
Curatorial Statement
Alliances and Commonalities 2024 invites artists and researchers to share embodied, sensorial, experiential, poetic and experimental ways in which friction and coexistence permeate their artistic practice and research. Friction is what allows us to live, dance, walk and act in a physical and material world. As bodies touch against each other they connect and interfere.
At a glance the 2024 conference will include explorations into frictional kinship, interspecies relations and more-than-human worldings, erotic assemblages, somatic practices and transcorporeal attunements, enhanced and augmented realities, dialogical thinking and walking as wayfinding, practices of resistance and refusal, conditions of transversality and mutability, acts of re-mapping and transferal and many other approaches to artistic research.
The presentations, performances, workshops, installations and walks will be gathered within SKH’s four discreet yet interconnected profile areas: Art, Technology, Materiality; Bodily and Vocal Practices; Concept and Composition; Site, Event, Encounter with the addition of a strand dedicated to walking practices. Read more about this under Conference strands on the conference web.
Questions posed to conference presenters
Each presenter was asked to choose and answer one of the questions below. You can read their answers on the link to their presentations on the conference web:
How is friction and/or coexistence embodied, felt, sensed, performed, manifested, made knowable in your artistic practice and research?
What alliances does your research enable by attending to frictions, resistances, and tensions in the contemporary artistic, cultural and political landscape?
What in your research is most urgent to share right now?
We’re very much looking forward to experiencing Alliances and Commonalities 2024 with you.
