++POSITIV VII INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON VISUAL ARTS RESEARCH :: ANIAV 2026

  1. Do you want to participate in the VII International Congress on Visual Arts Research?

Send your abstracts (max. 300 words) until March 24!

The events that have taken place in the world in recent times force us to take a position and to think aboutwhat role can the visual arts play in this new situation?. Fortunately, this is not the first time that the challenges seem excessive; art has been living in crisis contexts for decades and has proposed spaces for creation, resistance and alternatives that have accompanied us to the present.
In this VII edition of the International Congress of Research in Visual Arts ANIAVwe want to examine the state of the question based on a ++POSITIV slogan that appeals to the propositional, critical or contradictory capacity of art. The double positive can be affirmation but also immoderation and contradiction.
All possibilities are open, because with the ANIAV congresses we want to give voice to the differences and dissidences in contemporary artistic proposals, from an open and inclusive perspective. In this edition we propose the usual fields of research on practices, processes and contexts of contemporary creation; critical thinking, artistic research and theoretical frameworks; mediation, transmission and care of art and visual culture.
