LANDING invites proposals for our upcoming issue, exploring the politics and poetics of collaborative practices transcending disciplines. In a time when civility and practices of non-violent disagreement are in great need, this issue of LANDING poses a question from the Why Cut When You Can Fade research group to other groups and duos:

What specific protocols can foster resonant and relational practices with others, particularly between the arts and other disciplines, while keeping collaborations organically evolving / dissolving?

We seek poetic/polemic/essayistic/visual and audiovisual contributions that treat making together not solely as a means to produce outcomes, but as a site of questioning, entanglement, and walking-talking together—where a pause itself may be called a result.

LANDING’s community is focused on contributions from early-stage, doctoral, and post-doctoral researchers, including, but not limited to, those working within performance, sound, choreography, theatre, cinema, visual arts, and related fields. We also welcome contributions from practitioners not affiliated with academic institutions.

How to Apply:

The deadline for submitting your outline is 10 June, 2026, 23:59 EET.

By outline, we mean a plan of your textual argumentation or flow of thoughts, with supporting evidence in the form of materials.

Send us a single PDF containing all the materials intended for consideration, up to 8 pages. We will consult this material on a screen, including hyperlinks and multimedia content. Please begin with a short introductory note in the PDF that indicates where your submission is coming from, and briefly mention the origins of the collective work that serves as the basis for your transdisciplinary research.

Should you have any questions before sending your outline, we will do our best to respond. Please send queries by the 1st of June.

All communication should be sent to landing@vda.lt (and will be taken care of by Miki Ambrózy, Sophie Durand, and the issue’s guest editors).
