ELIA Biennial Conference 2024: Arts Plural

Early bird registrations are now open for ELIA Biennial 2024: Arts Plural—a four-day extravaganza of ideas and interventions exploring artistic intelligence and its kaleidoscopic possibilities for change. Join ELIA and esteemed hosts, NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, Italy from November 20–23, 2024.

This year’s theme, Arts Plural calls upon artistic practitioners, researchers, educators, students, policymakers and visionaries to define, apply, and celebrate artistic intelligence and its capacity to contribute to society in a pluralistic way. 

Artists and designers possess a particular form of intelligence. Although considered powerful in certain circles, artistic intelligence is frequently ill-defined or misread. However, as a system of capacities for perception, insight, sensing, creating, and decision-making, it has been driving human evolution beyond boundaries for centuries. But how do we define artistic intelligence and its potential in a contemporary context?   

Connect with international friends and colleagues, and enjoy a variety of interactive workshops, keynotes, networking moments, city tours, experiments, and artistic interventions. Explore new possibilities for art and design to influence societal transformation. Show your practice, process and power. View ELIA Biennial 2024 programme.
