Symposium Open Call — 'Drawing Worldlines'

Drawing Worldlines is a two day symposium happening at Ocean Studios in Plymouth in August 2022. Via a host of activities, we will explore the purpose and power of storytelling through art and illustration. You are invited to submit proposals for paper presentations, talks, panels, or workshops on topics related to story and telling, including:

• The importance of the act of telling
• The history of storytelling
• Ethnography and personal narratives
• Cultural memory and telling through place
• Mythology and telling through time
• The joy of telling

This list is not exhaustive, and all proposals will be considered on their own merit. This call is open to those of any background or experience, independent of present academic or arts involvement.

Paper presentations and talks may be a a maximum of 30 mins including Q&A. Panels, workshops, and other activity lengths may vary (to be discussed after selection).
