Research Methodologies in Creation Processes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

December 2-4, 2026
University of Algarve, Faro (Portugal)
Hybrid format<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The CIAC \u2013 Research Centre for Arts and Communication<\/strong> invites artists and researchers to submit proposals for the 3rd Creation Processes International Conference<\/strong>, to be held from 2\u20134 December 2026<\/strong> at the University of Algarve<\/strong> (Gambelas Campus, Faro, Portugal), in a hybrid format<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference is organized by the Visual Arts and Creation Processes Working Group<\/strong> of CIAC, in partnership with the Creation Processes Research Group<\/strong> at PUC-SP (Pontifical Catholic University of S\u00e3o Paulo)<\/strong>. This third edition is dedicated to the theme “Research Methodologies in Creation Processes”<\/strong> and aims to foster critical reflection on theoretical and practical approaches grounded in creative processes, contributing to the advancement of research-creation studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2019, the collaboration between CIAC and PUC-SP has led to several joint initiatives, including the CIAC Creation Processes Collection<\/strong>, this international conference, and academic programmes in the field, such as the Master’s Degree in Creation Processes<\/strong> (University of Algarve) and the Postgraduate in Creation Processes<\/strong> (PUC-SP), both involving faculty members from the two institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building upon theoretical contributions such as those of Cecilia Salles<\/strong>, who proposed a transversal approach to the study of creative processes, the conference welcomes a diversity of methodologies and perspectives, encouraging the exchange of experiences, practices, and research findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite artists and researchers to reflect on contemporary methodologies grounded in creative processes, deepening the understanding of creation as a field for the production of diverse forms of knowledge, theories of art from the artist’s perspective, research through creation, and related approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome abstracts for papers addressing the conference theme, as well as related topics, including, but not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
