CReArC Global 1st International Symposium on Artistic Citizenship
Musics, Communities & Diversities. Global Perspectives on Artistic Citizenship

CReArC Global 1st International Symposium on Artistic Citizenship in Stockholm, 10-12 June 2027, builds on the collaborative work of the Centre for Research in Artistic Citizenship (CReArC Global) network, including the recently published Music as Agency. Diversities of Perspectives on Artistic Citizenship (Westvall & Akuno, 2024) and the forthcoming special issue of IJCM exploring the intersections of Artistic Citizenship, Community Music and ‘Artizenship’.

This symposium extends these conversations into a live, international forum, bringing together researchers and artist-scholars to deepen inquiry into the role of artistic practices in civic participation, cultural identity and social change.

We invite proposals for papers that engage with the themes of artistic citizenship, artizenship and socially engaged artistic practice.

We welcome contributions that address conceptual, pedagogical, methodological and/or ethical dimensions of artistic engagement as a means of social transformation.

The shape of contributions may take many forms, drawing on empirical research, theoretical inquiry or practice-based inquiry. We encourage submissions from across disciplines and from researchers at all career stages.

Deadline for submission: 15 November 2026
