Language-based Artistic Research describes an emergent field involving approaches to artistic research that are undertaken in and through different language-based practices. The Special Interest Group (SIG) in Language-based Artistic Research was inaugurated in 2019 within the frame of the Research Pavilion #3, Venice, and now comprises an international network of over 600 artistic researchers. The intent is not to define or fix what language-based artistic research is but rather to reflect how it is practised in its diversity. This session will introduce the activities of the SIG in Language-based Artistic Research, providing invitation to the wider community of artistic researchers to become involved. It will comprise presentations from different ‘thematic nodes’ – a term used for referring to a group of artistic researchers coming together for engaging with a specific thematic focus, resonant affinity, or a matter of urgency relating to language-based artistic research. Contributions to the programme (in-person and through online content) address diverse language-based issues and questions including – the ethics and politics of language justice as a framework and set of practices for equitable, authentic communication; the relation of languaging and bodying, as well as between voicing and listening, alongside the asemic and ‘eco-asemic’ materiality of language. A detailed programme for this session is available here from 3 May 2025 — https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/835089/835129
