SCA Research Festival: Festival of Artifacts

Share

The Festival of Artifacts celebrates research in progress. Present early drafts, experimental ideas, pitches, productive failures, or artistic and ethnographic expressions, and connect with others through exploration, reflection, and conversation.

Following the success of last year's Research Festival, we are excited to launch a new mid-year edition with a different focus: the Festival of Artifacts.

This edition is dedicated to research in progress. Instead of polished results, we celebrate early drafts, experimental ideas, pitches, productive failures, and ethnographic or artistic expressions of research. The festival offers a welcoming space to explore ideas, exchange feedback, and discover the many forms research can take.

We invite you to contribute something unfinished, exploratory, or unconventional—an artifact that reflects your research process, questions, methods, or creative direction. Whether it is a sketch, prototype, field note, visual experiment, concept, or other work in progress, your contribution can spark meaningful conversations and inspire others.

Join us to share, reflect, and engage with fellow researchers in an open, supportive, and creative environment.
