CSSE 2023
Pre-conference CSSE 2023 (Hybrid)
Date: Saturday, May 27, 2023
Time: 1:00 – 4:00 pm EST

Conference Theme: Reckonings and Re-Imagining
This hybrid pre-conference enables emerging and established arts scholars and graduate students to share their expertise, inquiry, and research via creative expression, artful exploration, and reflective consideration in the theme of Reckonings and Re-Imaginings.
About the Pre-Conference
Returning in person and via hybrid online format the pre-conference aims to offer a day of creative connection, hands-on making, and inquiry as shared practice through arts-based modes. This day of artful action will highlight artistic, alternative, creative, reflective restorative, interactive, decolonising, and educative explorations of the topics aimed at creating more equitable communities and hopeful re-imaginings.
Acknowledging the complexity of our perspectives, we welcome all proposals; however, as this is a precursor to a full five-day research-focused conference, we would like to avoid the presentation of papers in the traditional lecture format.
Proposal Guidelines
We encourage you to be as creative as possible in your response to this call. What is your art? How do you express your truth? How can you involve us? Story-telling, poetry, written word, visual art, theatrical performance, dance, guided meditation/embodied reflexivity, photography, music, song, discussion – all explorations of life are welcome. Presentations may take the form of a workshop, a performance, a guided discussion, interactive co-creation – there are no limitations but your imagination. Any resulting co-created artifacts arising from presentations will be up-loaded onto the virtual conference gallery as part of the ARTSIG website and shared in our virtual juried art space.
How should I design my session?
Session Types
The pre-conference being held on Saturday, May 27, 2023 from 1pm – 4pm EST will include:
● Two (2) hands-on workshops (creative inquiry) (50 mins) Submissions that involve hands on making/collaboration/participation are encouraged
● Collaborative roundtable of work in progress session (undergraduate and graduate students welcome) (3-5 minutes each)
The proposals will be reviewed by pre-conference chairs in consultation with the executive of the ARTS SIG. There will not be simultaneous sessions; to promote deep engagement, each session will be attended by all registered members (in-person and virtually). The day will also include an in-person tour of the YorkU gallery as led by their curatorial team. We look forward to the possibilities for connection, intersectionality, and community as we highlight and celebrate arts-based research and praxis.
