Please send an abstract of 250 words and a short biography, or any questions about the event, to <ap...@aparn.net> by 30th April.
We greatly appreciate your attention and would be very happy if you could distribute this information to interested colleagues.

#APARN2023 “The Matter of Art”
Meeting in Yogyakarta, Indonesia Friday 7th July 2023
Hosted by the Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta https://isi.ac.id/
Art results from and results in matter. As art comprehends and works its material, it can transform solid marble into soft and transparent silk, or a disturbance in the air into melodic streams of experience. In the age of artificial intelligence, there has been a tendency to obscure the value of matter and sometimes conceive it as a burden, even as technological culture has fostered interest in a “new materialism”; although as Sara Ahmed reminds, feminist analysis has always been concerned with materiality.
In the posthuman sphere, mastery of the human body and artistic medium give way to the seemingly autonomous techniques of the machine where matter as material figures and therefore is configured differently. However, by dwelling in and intimately wrestling with material when producing creative works, artists find a unique perspective on the nature of the world and the cultures of the self. In the Asia Pacific region specifically, many communities have not policed the distinction between nature and culture as tightly as in Europe, and the damage wrought by climate change and extractive industries is therefore not only a harm to the natural world but also to the social body.
In this sense, the arts also need to matter - if art has significance for our human world, it can open our senses to the state of the planet, how it changes and how we can bring change. Therefore, access to artistic pleasure, intrigue and awe genuinely matter. These experiences hold value regardless of external validation by economic or public institutions, or the immediate practicalities of the everyday.

Hi all
Just letting you know that there are a couple of slots for presentation still available at the next APARN meeting on 7th July, and so we have extended the deadline for proposals until 28th May 2023. You can propose to present in person in Yogyakarta or via Zoom.
Please join in if you can!
Cheers,
