Dear friends and colleagues, we are happy to announce that the cfp for APP 2026 is out!
The topic of this year's conference is Photography's Other Archives — we would like to focus upon photographic archives (counter-archives?) that have been overlooked, not included, for various reasons be it geographic, political, historiographical or epistemological.
We aim to bring together not only researchers but also practitioners in various fields, involved in discovering, studying, describing, preserving or destroying, transforming, digitizing, publishing or hiding photographic archives — we welcome artists, restorers, grassroot and professional archivists, museum custodians, community managers, genealogists, et c, alongside academic researchers. We are open to experimental formats of participation, as well as traditional paper presentations. As usual, the conference will include APP+, the workshop/think tank for emerging researchers.
The conference will be held in person at the European University in St Petersburg, 3-6 December.
Deadline for submissions is 20 September.
If you have any questions, drop us a line at [email protected] or [email protected]. Please share this information with your colleagues.
