Storytelling & the Body : An Inclusive Interdisciplinary Project
The event proposes to step outside the traditional conference setting and offer opportunities for artists, photographers, practitioners, theorists, independent scholars, academics, performers, writers, and others to intermingle, providing platforms for interdisciplinary interactions that are fruitful and conducive to broadening horizons and sparking future projects, collaborations, and connections.
The organisers welcome proposals for presentations, displays, exhibits, round tables, panels, interactive workshops and other activities to stimulate engagement and discussion on any aspect of the interplay between stories, bodies, barriers and borders.
The eleventh edition will be held online on 22 and 23 September 2025, hosted by the University of Enna «Kore», and in person from 24 to 26 September 2025 at the University of Palermo.
We invite scholarly papers and/ or creative practice- based presentations to reflect the centrality of the planetary in film and
screen media, with consideration for the context of the environmental emergency.
