The IMPACT Conference is a longstanding and well-established collaborative forum for printmaking, extended practice, exhibitions and academic debate. Begun in 1999, it has always been the expectation that IMPACT will travel to different countries - where themes, practices and histories of print are informed by the host country, place and culture.
Since 1999, it has travelled to Finland, South Africa, Berlin and Poznan, Estonia, Australia, Scotland, Spain, China and Hong Kong. It has been co-hosted between different cities and countries, supported by printmaking associations, universities, institutes and academies.
For 2024/5, we seek organisations to host the following IMPACT 13 conference. Please think boldly and collaboratively and consider in-person with hybrid features. Your expression of interest should include a general outline of the themes and financial and administrative resources that can be committed to supporting the conference. A link to an expression of interest form can be found here.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Impact Chair, Carinna.Parraman@uwe.ac.uk
