Samuti esitletakse tulemusi öistelt audiovisuaalsetelt eksperimentidelt, mille on Tartus konverentsi eel viinud läbi 3. VRN rahvusvahelises kunstiresidentuuris osalejad.

Conference: Encounters with the Urban Night 

18.-19. June 2022
At Estonian National Museum, Jakob Hurt’s hall

Marking the weekend before the shortest night of the year, and in recognition of the resurgent post-pandemic urban night, the Estonian National Museum and the Visual Research Network together invite the public to encounter a multidisciplinary study of the nocturnal. The 3rd VRN Conference showcases ethnographies of shadow and alterity, sounds and images of the night, and experiments with methodologies both filmic and anthropological. 

The research presentations and documentary works to be featured explore diverse nocturnal subjects and spaces, from the São Paulo electronic music scene to animal encounters in a Nepalese National Park, from the fugitive night life that follows coloniality in Lagos, to the Milky Way itself and the implications of its invisibility. Also on show are the fruits of the audiovisual experiments carried out in Tartu by participants of the 3rd VRN International Artists’ Residency in the days immediately prior to the conference. 

The conference is in English and free of charge.
Registration below.
