We are delighted to announce the second annual PGR Studio conference:

Research Matter(s): 

Conversations about research in Arts, Design and Media

8th July 2016

Faculty of Arts, Design & Media

Birmingham City University

In the formal boxing up of ‘finished’ forms, the matter produced through research is commonly regarded as peripheral. Through articulating Researcher Matter(s) we wish to bring the notebooks, sketches, sounds and other matter that matters to the forefront of your research/practice. We want these embodied knowledge(s) that cannot easily be contained or communicated to prompt conversations about research matters in Arts, Design and Media.

Research Matter(s) offers a forum for you to playfully and critically communicate / articulate / present / re-present your research through/as matter. It aims to enable the making, creating and becoming that is part of the research process to articulate the core ideas and practices specific to your research to others, in ways that rethink the traditional paper format.

More information about registering attendance will be available soon.
