Proceeding 2023 published: String Figures ∞ Transforming Together

Proceeding 2023 published: String Figures ∞ Transforming Together

In 2023 with the 10th anniversary of the conference series, we organized an academic track, based on a call for papers and visual essays, and a double-blind peer-review process. To our surprise, the academic track, which went in parallel to hands-on workshops, has been extremely well attended and included lively discussions. So, we plan to give it more time and space and also interweave it better with the other formats of the conference. Here you can download the proceedings. They would not be ready without the persistent work of Mustapha El Moussaoui, and many others helping.

Btw: the call for papers and visual essays for the By Design and by Disaster Conference 2024 just opened. The focus is on “Power in Transformation“. Abstract submission deadline: 1 March 2024
