Drifting bodies / fluent spaces is calling upon submissions for three forms of participation:
i) Papers, ii) Artistic Projects / Artworks iii) Walkshops.
We invite to submit papers, artistic projects or artworks and walkshops that relate to:
a) walks, performance events or actions that focus on the relationship of the body and the physical space, and on the immaterial realms of conscious and sensory experience,
b) digital/new technology mappings of the urban fluidity and drift as methodology,

Unfortunately, due to the global spread of COVID-19 (Corona Virus), DRIFTING BODIES / FLUENT SPACES as an international meeting / conference had to be reorganized into a hybrid format.
The conference will consist of three online presentations, followed by questions and answers, one each day between 22 and 24 July at 18h30 BST.
There will also be 3 online round tables with 7 participants, at 17h BST from 22 to 24 July, allowing a group of invited speackers to discuss topics related to their papers, among themselves and with the online audience topics.
In the walkshops / performances category, 12 candidates are selected.
In the category of art works, 25 artists are selected.
The organization reserves the right to reproduce and distribute, through online or paper printed publications, all or part of the project papers or other submitted materials, including images, video and sound materials, always quoting the respective authors, and will archive all documentation in text, video, audio and photographs,generated as part of this open call.
We are grateful for the high number of proposals received that exceeded our expectations, but the current pandemic situation required a reorganization and we had to transition the conference / round table to a virtual format.
It was difficult to make a final selection and many excellent works had to be left out.
