**CALL FOR WORKS**
Photography, artistic and practice-based research projects
ERRAR — a Portuguese word with multiple meanings — guides this call as both method and attitude. On one hand, errar evokes wandering: an errant practice of photography that moves through territories. On the other hand, errar means to err—to misstep, to hesitate, to search through uncertainty. Here error is not failure but a generative condition.
This conference invites photographers and other practitioners working with photographic images to submit visual essays, photobooks, and other photographic sequences that respond to these twin meanings of errar: works that wander, drift, or deviate; works that embrace experimentation, doubt, and the productive potential of mistakes. We welcome submissions presenting academic, artistic, or hybrid research that explore photography as a practice of movement—through landscapes, archives, platforms, and ideas—and as a form of thinking that unfolds through approximation rather than resolution. We encourage practice-based proposals from individuals and collectives.
Deadline for submissions: 15 July 2026
