Journeys in Print

The theme of this years conference is ‘Borders and Crossings: the artist as explorer’ and is intended to celebrate the practice, concept and application of print and printmaking in its widest possible constituency.

The conference will be structured into a series of parallel sessions that will reflect this diversity of exploration and will accommodate a variety of approaches to presentation of academic papers, illustrated talks and panel discussions. These will broadly cover the following topics and suggested sub-themes which are intended simply as a guide and are by no means exclusive to other proposals.
