SAR Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
Special Interest Groups
SAR Special Interest Groups (SIGs) serve the purpose of lasting in depth peer exchange, activity, and productivity on any topic or focus area of special interest in relation to artistic research, its practice, education, and institutionalisation.
SIGs are initiated and led by SAR members.
Interested in forming a SIG? Express your interest with a short proposal, including names of the group coordinator(s) and of at least three confirmed group members who are also SAR members.
We're interested in starting a SIG
Exchange and Activity
SIGs offer focused frameworks for long-term engagement around specific topics, methods, or questions in artistic research. Each SIG conducts a particular activity, theme or focus area in affiliation with SAR and promotes the activity and its results within the SAR community, thus contributing to the resources for the SAR membership and the artistic research community.
Open Call for New SIGs
New SIGs may be suggested, founded, organised, and moderated by any SAR member (i.e. individual members or employees/students of SAR member institutions). SIGs are open to and welcome entry by all individuals who are either SAR individual members or employee/student of a SAR member institution.
SIGs at the International Conference
At the yearly conference the SIGs are present during a dedicated timeslot for both public presentations and internal meetings. At this year's conference in Porto 7th - 9th of May, six SIGs will participate.
