    The conference theme for this year is "Illuminating Perspectives through Critical Visual Literacy". We invite you to explore and discuss various aspects of this theme with us as we delve into the realm of personal and collective meaning-making, agentive practice, and the transformation of sociopolitical realities.

    This conference will be a hybrid conference featuring an online conference day Monday, November 4th with in-person conference events happening Sunday, October 6th through Wednesday, October 9th.
