The second Transart Triennale aims to test, debate, play, and run with the theme coined by philosopher Rosi Braidotti—"The Imperceptible Self"—through the sharing and experiencing of creative practices driven by the nomadic, peripatetic, subjectivity, otherness, ego-less identity, the space in between, becoming, and presence. Fully aware that our "interactions" with "other" cultures and nature profoundly alters all—just as memories change with each reflection—the triennial will stray from preservation in terms of identity politics: shepherding nature and "I" to consider other modes of framing existence. How else can we consider the implosion of exiled states; the entropic influx into the largest cities; the sinking of smaller ones; the collapsing distance between us, self, and other; of difference? How to live now in a state of flux with possibility and joy? A Transart Creative Project Board will review all submissions and guest editors will sift and cultivate documentation of Transartfest events, publishing papers, artwork, performances, reviews, interviews, and other fruits of our search in the fall annual issue. Submission will be accepted in the form of: Papers, essays, recordings, creative writing, visual and sound portfolios, performances, skill or other exchanges, pecha kucha talks, symposia, curatorial and theme slam proposals, lectures, discussion groups, workshop descriptions/syllabi, Triennale documentation, etc. Note: letters of support, venue, publicity, video and photo documentation will be provided for all accepted projects. Preferred application deadline: December 2015.
