September 14 – 15, 2024 International Symposium for Visual Culture 2024 in Silver Spring, Maryland

We invite artists, scholars, and researchers worldwide to participate in the International Symposium for Visual Culture & Exhibition 2024. The community of artists, researchers and academics meets in the international symposium in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, adjacent to Washington, D.C., and participates in the exhibition at the CICA Museum in Korea.

ISVC is an international platform for diverse and critical perspectives on visual culture. Through ISVC, we aim to create a global network of researchers/artists and consumers/makers of visual culture, and foster critical thoughts and in-depth understanding of visual culture on a global scale.

Participating artists and researchers will be featured in the book “New Media Art 2025.” The book is expected to be released in full-color paperback and ebook in December 2024. The article may include any form of text (e.g., interview, essay, poetry) in English, drawings, and pictures that introduce the artists’ works.
