Drawing Across x Along x Between x University Borders
(2024)
DRAWinU
CONFERENCE, UNIVERSITY OF PORTO.
October 16, 17, 18th, 2024
::
Drawing Across :: Along :: Between University Borders considers the epistemological and transformative potential of drawing research to connect divergent areas in the university today. The conference focuses on drawing-based collaborations between art, science and society to tackle artistic, educational and societal challenges. We invite artists, scientists, educators, students, university policymakers and persons interested in inter-transdisciplinary practices across academia, research, and society to contribute and join the discussion in three possible directions:
ACROSS - In what ways are drawing practitioners challenging the disciplinary strictures that often constrain thinking and acting across divergent areas in the university?
ALONG - How can drawing activities be an ally of STEM education in the university, and how can STEM practices be an ally of drawing education?
BETWEEN - How can drawing-based practices and STEM disciplines collaborate to address the urgency of societal challenges?

The Unimportance of Why - exploring liminal space in narrative gaps
(2024)
Sara Key
Master in Film & Media, Thesis project, SKH/Stockholm University of the Arts - the Art of Impact 2024
Film as doing philosophy, and the liminal experience explored within the narrative gap of character creation, as a space for pre-reflective thought and attention.
Themes of Melancholy and Memory works as architecture for experimenting with spatiality and temporality.
With ideas of Film as Poetic Art, I have explored the How and Now in film acting with a tension dependent non-linear script motivated by the works of filmmaker Chantal Akerman.
What happens with us as filmmakers when we refuse to answer questions? What happens with the spectator when we refuse to give answers? Is there a gap created or are the gaps the magic that happens in between the creation?
THE ART OF THE WALK CYCLE
(2024)
Rania Ghazali
This exploration delves into the potential of emotional storytelling through walk cycles. Moving beyond traditional animation, it utilises the expressive power of modern tools to explore how line, shape, stroke weight, colour, texture, and sound can be manipulated to create abstract narratives that evoke deeper emotional experience for the viewer.
Drawing on a foundation of psychological principles, scientific research, and relevant articles, the walk cycles become abstract narratives, provoking introspection and emotional connection.
