Winter 2021

Even in times of crisis, art continues to spread its rhizomes. The way in which the arts are organised, created and historicised is often a reflection of how we organise ourselves as people. But where are the keys to a sustainable arts landscape? From parafictions and meta-realities to co-creations and business models: discover these new perspectives in the Winter issue of FORUM+.

Call for papers

The editors of FORUM+ launch a call for contributions on the overarching topic of (Trans)literate art: language, multilingualism and translation in the arts.

This new FORUM+ dossier collects contributions on the role of language in the arts, higher art education, and research in the arts. The editors explicitly welcome contributions on research practices that focus on the relationship between language and art, as well as visual essays in which less common systems of language, writing or artistic notation are used, explored, or invented; also alternative carriers or forms of language can be introduced, discussed or used.

Textual, audio and visual contributions are welcome. You can find more information on the possible forms of publication in the author's guidelines.

The deadline for submission is 15 April 2021.

For the occasion, audio artist Katharina Smets transformed her contribution in the summer issue of FORUM+ 2018 into a listenable form. With the help of archive material and the voice of Willem de Wolf, she develops ‘The fragile I’, an article about the power and vulnerability of one’s own voice in, you guessed it, podcasts.
