Call for Posters – Deadline January 20, 2023

 

The Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) will hold its 51st annual conference, Transformación in Mexico City, Mexico, April 18th – 21st, 2023.

This will be the Society’s first annual conference convened in Mexico and an opportunity to introduce ARLIS/NA to our Mexican colleagues. Mexico City is a global force and cosmopolitan center of visual arts and culture on our continent and home to over 250 museums and a thriving gallery and contemporary art scene. We invite art information professionals from across the continent to transform their relationships with each other, the field, and their practice. 

Transformación recognizes the ways we have all been called to shift our thinking as professionals in the past several years in relation to a rapidly changing world contending with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, war, and the ongoing effort to build a more just and equitable present and future for all. The conference theme Transformación recognizes that as things fall apart, new futures and possibilities emerge, and in Mexico City we will explore together what transformation can look like across all aspects of the profession.

The Mexico City Conference Program Committee invites proposals from library and archives workers, students, scholars, educators, vendors, curators, visual artists and designers to propose posters that reflect the theme Transformación as it relates to the practice of visual arts information and scholarship.

The Program Committee encourages submission that include, but not limited to:

• Latin American Libraries, Archives, and Information Agencies
• Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility
• International and Cross-Cultural Collaborations
• Local Art and Architecture
• Advocacy, Social Justice, Anti-Racism, Public Policy and Activism
• Archives, Rare Books and Special Collections
• Collection Development and Management
• Critical Librarianship
• Digital Humanities and Digital Scholarship
• Alternative Publications, Artists’ Books, Graphic Novels, ‘zines etc.
• Teaching and Pedagogical Practice
• Fair Use and Copyright Issues
• Leadership, Mentoring, Management, and Professional Development
• Visual Literacy
• User Experience

POSTER: A Poster presents an idea through text and images, and communicates the main concept without a presenter. It also facilitates conversations between the presenter and a small audience during scheduled viewing hours. Poster sessions often focus on case studies of completed projects, initiatives, strategies and best practices, or works-in-progress. Sharing ideas and receiving feedback from colleagues in one-on-one conversation are ideal outcomes of a poster session. Presenting a poster can be a good entry point for those new to participating in professional conferences, and can be developed later into presentations or publications.

 

Note: Poster presenters will be responsible for printing posters and mounting them in the display area at the conference in advance of scheduled viewing times. Panels and basic mounting supplies will be provided.
