From: "Fearnley, Carina" <c.fearnley@xxxxxxxxx>CoV9. Session S1.8 Using arts for volcano risk communication - call for conference abstracts
*****************************************************************************************************
Cities on Volcanoes, Puerto Varas, Chile, 20-25 November 2016.
Abstract submission deadline: 15 July 2016.
Session S1.8 Using arts for volcano risk communication.
Leaders: Ilan Kelman and Carina Fearnley (with help from Ellie Cosgrave).
We invite you to submit an abstract to our Cities on Volcanoes 9 Session S1.8 'Using arts for volcano risk communication'.
Many volcano-related programmes and activities for
education, preparedness, and disaster risk reduction policy and practice
are developed
and progressed through linear depictions involving factual expressions
of words. Yet many other forms of communication exist and are viable.
Artistic _expression_, in particular, can seek deeper explanations where
language alone falls short. By leveraging the
power of art for accessing and garnering interest in initiatives,
action for volcano-related risk reduction (and beyond) can be
encouraged. Art becomes a powerful communication and education tool
fostering connections, providing everyone with the opportunity
to become an ‘expert’ for themselves and for their communities.
To explore the potential and actuality of art-based
and artistic-based approaches for living with volcanoes, this session
invites submissions
on poetry, fiction, dance, sculpture, paintings, photography,
videography / film, theatre, and any other form or combination of art,
performative and non-performative. The session is open for
performances, readings, and presentations. The art or art process
could be used, explored, or theorised with respect to volcanoes and
living with them. Historical examples, contemporary initiatives, and
future ideas are all welcome along with non-volcano instances which
could be applied to volcanoes.
Our session is part of Symposium 1: Volcanoes Risk Reduction
