Sainsbury Institute for Art, UEA, Norwich
9 – 11 April 2015

Paper proposals, to be sent to the session convenor in accordance with proposal guidelines.
Paper proposal deadline: 10 November 2014

Session Convenors:

• Amy Bryzgel, University of Aberdeen, a.bryzgel@abdn.ac.uk
• Andrea Euringer-Bátorová, Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava, euringer-batorova@vsvu.sk

 This session will examine a range of artistic ideas, participative strategies, subversive practices, networks and projects (imaginary or real) which demonstrate an alternative sphere of thinking and modes of creative living, and which possibly attempt to move beyond the classical binary systems of West and East – all from within an everyday world order that seemed to be set in stone.
