Global Perspectives on Artistic Citizenship

10-12 JUNE 2027
STOCKHOLM | SWEDEN

CReArC Global 1st International Symposium on Artistic Citizenship in Stockholm, 10-12 June 2027, builds on the collaborative work of the Centre for Research in Artistic Citizenship (CReArC Global) network, including the recently published Music as Agency. Diversities of Perspectives on Artistic Citizenship (Westvall & Akuno, 2024) and the forthcoming special issue of IJCM exploring the intersections of Artistic Citizenship, Community Music and ‘Artizenship’.

This symposium extends these conversations into a live, international forum, bringing together researchers and artist-scholars to deepen inquiry into the role of artistic practices in civic participation, cultural identity and social change.

More information about registration will be published 31 August 2026.

Submission invitation

We invite proposals for papers that engage with the themes of artistic citizenship, artizenship and socially engaged artistic practice. We welcome contributions that address conceptual, pedagogical, methodological and/or ethical dimensions of artistic engagement as a means of social transformation.

The shape of contributions may take many forms, drawing on empirical research, theoretical inquiry or practice-based inquiry. We encourage submissions from across disciplines and from connections across the papers in each group.

Presentation Format
Each accepted proposal will be allocated 15 minutes for presentation. Papers will be grouped thematically in panels of three with each panel followed by a 30-minute facilitated discussion. This discussion period is designed to provide a space for cross-disciplinary exchange, questions and exploration of connections across the papers in each group.

Presenters are encouraged to think of their contribution as an opening into collaborative dialogue.
