Draft Conference Programme

Res Artis and Acme are delighted to launch early-bird registrations to give attendees as much notice as possible to organise their travel plans for September. Every aspect of our conference, Mind the Gap: Designing residencies for everyone, is committed to the overarching themes of diversity, access and inclusion. The conference program seeks to dismantle hierarchies and provide fair access for all. As such, we conducted an open-call for speakers and received an overwhelming response. We are currently assessing more than 200 proposals, and confirming speakers accordingly. Please refer to the Res Artis website for a full schedule as the conference program unfolds.

Eschewing keynote presentation in favour of panel discussions, provocations and interactive workshops the conference will explore power and access, diversity, artist voices and partnership working across four days. 

Inclusivity and diversity are key themes of this conference— everyone is welcome.
