This year's second annual Doctoral Conference of the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen will offer two thematic sessions on Thursday, October 1. The first will focus on identity, representation, and critical discourses in contemporary art. The second will address sustainability, material aspects, and the future of artistic and design practice. However, contributions may naturally move between the fields of fine art and design, which are not strictly separated.

The conference, titled "Between Theory and Practice," is aimed at doctoral students working in the fields of art, design, art theory, curatorial studies, cultural studies, and related humanities disciplines. It opens a space for sharing research projects situated at the intersection of artistic practice and theoretical reflection, and focuses on current forms of artistic research, its methodology, and the possibilities for interdisciplinary dialogue. At the same time, it offers a platform for presentation and critical discussion.

Interested applicants can register via the online form. More information is available on the conference website.
