The CIAC International Creation Processes Conference is organized by the Working Group on Visual Arts and Creation Processes<\/a> of the Research Centre in Arts and Communication (CIAC)<\/a> at the University of Algarve<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It results from the international collaboration between CIAC and the Creation Processes Research Group<\/a> at PUC-SP<\/a>, which in recent years have been developing several joint projects.The second edition of the Conference is dedicated to Interactions between Research and Creation<\/em><\/strong> and will take place on December 4 and 5<\/strong> at the University of Algarve, Penha Campus, in Faro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call for Submissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In December 2025, researchers, artists, and creators in general will gather at the University of Algarve, under the initiative of CIAC \u2013 Research Centre in Arts and Communication, to reflect on Creation Processes<\/em> across practices, materialities, procedures, and methods, under the theme Interactions between Research and Creation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CIAC has intensified its studies and initiatives in the field of Creation Processes, especially since the beginning of its partnership with the Creation Processes Research Group at PUC-SP (2019), an institution with over 30 years of experience dedicated to research in this area. Outcomes of this Portugal-Brazil partnership include not only the conference but also: the CIAC Creation Processes Collection<\/a> (2022), the Master\u2019s in Creation Processes at the University of Algarve<\/a> (2023), and the Postgraduate Program in Creation Processes at PUC-SP<\/a> (2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on the Interactions between research and creation<\/em><\/strong> becomes increasingly necessary when theory is positioned at the meeting point between knowledge from practice and the desire to propose new understandings emerging from such knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, several higher education programs have been established to support projects at the intersection of research and creation, including the PhD in Digital Media-Art (UAlg\/UAb), the Master\u2019s in Creation Processes (UAlg), the Postgraduate Program in Creation Processes (PUC-SP), among others associated with this conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creation, a concept that long ago transcended the artistic field and assumed a central role in all sectors of contemporary life, remains vital to artists, though not exclusively to them. It can contribute to sensitive and timely research that enables us to act more effectively in and upon the world. To create, and to offer others the possibility to create, is certainly one of the means of resisting the automatisms of gesture and thought that have marked our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigating ways to de-automatize our gestures and thoughts, by opening and discussing Creation Processes across different fields, is a path that brings ethics and aesthetics together within practices of creation and research. In this sense, universities play a fundamental role in fostering and promoting, also within the academic environment, such intersections and the projects born from this desire for confluence.The second edition of the Conference (2025) aims to broaden these and other discussions, and therefore invites researchers, artists, and creators in general to submit communication proposals addressing Interactions between Research and Creation<\/em>, around (but not limited to) the following subtopics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
