The Manifest'ou 3rd International Symposium on Art and Design is organized by the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture at Istanbul Okan University. The symposium brings together contemporary discussions on the future across the fields of art and design under the theme 'Reimagining the Future: Thresholds, Possibilities and New Explorations in Art and Design.' It invites artists, designers, academics, and researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to present and discuss theoretical, practice-based, critical, and experimental work.

Conference theme

Reimagining the Future: Thresholds, Possibilities and New Explorations in Art and Design

Objectives

The symposium approaches the future not as a fixed or predictable destination, but as a dynamic field of thought continuously reshaped through uncertainties, shifts, disruptions, and emerging encounters. It seeks to explore how art and design formulate new questions about the future, develop alternative possibilities through creative and critical practices, and contribute to the transformation of existing paradigms.
