"Side is hosting ""Co-Authored Narratives", a symposium exploring collective authorship approaches to film and photography as a distinctive artistic practice. The symposium will address: how can co-authored creative practices challenge dominant ways of making and telling stories?

We’re calling for papers on artistic methodologies that prioritise shared narratives, embedded practices, and co-created community involvement. This includes work across all lens based media, where creative collaboration and long-term social engagement are used to produce authentic representations of lived experiences."

Eligibility: We welcome proposals from artists, researchers, curators, educators, and collectives working across disciplines. Presentations may take the form of artistic research, community projects, films, installations, or provocations. We particularly encourage voices from working-class, post-industrial, and regional backgrounds, and those exploring how creative collaboration can speak to contemporary issues - from climate justice to inequality. This is an opportunity to come together, reflect on methods of making that centre care, trust, and collaboration - and consider how these practices can shape the future of socially engaged art.

What you get: Selected applicants will share their work at a respected venue for socially engaged documentary practice, gaining critical feedback and dialogue with peers and curators. They’ll be published in a post-symposium print piece, contributing to an emerging body of research. It’s a chance to test ideas publicly, connect with a network of practitioners, and be visible to Side’s curatorial team. £150 is offered if not institutionally funded. Travel support letters available.
