Revolution! Scholars and Artists Rethinking Political Action is a co-equal philosophy and art conference/workshop that investigates the intersection between art and politics. It is hosted by the Philosophy Department of Houston Community College and Experimental Action, a performance art organization based in Houston, Texas. The conference is rooted in a shared curiosity as to how art-making, political theory, and political action comingle.
We are looking for participants whose research is grounded in creative practices, artists whose work relies on a theoretical framework, and interdisciplinary practitioners whose work moves between these spheres. This conference should be a place where artists and researchers are confident and vulnerable in their knowledge and encouraged and inspired by the works of colleagues across a variety of disciplines.
We believe that by bringing together a diverse group of people, we can reconfigure how words and deeds, scholarship and practice can work together to create transformative political action.
