For submitted proposals, we will be in touch soon about acceptance and next steps.

This hybrid project, including publications, exhibitions, and an intensive Fall seminar, is intended for artists, art educators, curators, philosophers, contemplative studies scholars, and researchers interested in exploring the significance of apophatic studies for their art practice and research. We invite both paper proposals and project statements for completed or in-progress works that examine art research and artistic research projects through the lens of apophatic thought.

In this moment of fracture, apophatic practice — approaching what cannot be said or captured directly — is a way to meet contemporary pressures without premature answers. It honors the most intricate human experiences — love, grief, solidarity, the slow erosion of certainty, the thing that shifts in a room just before something changes.
