This extension allows researchers, professors, artists, and professionals to submit their proposals for the conference.
The international scientific conference aims to explore the contemporary transformations of artistic practices, design, and cultural industries, based on concepts such as space, margins, center, creativity, innovation, and socio-political challenges. The event will take place on April 6, 7, and 8, 2027, at the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Tunis.

The conference will address several themes, including "Arts and Margins: Forms of Resistance," "Design and Social Innovation: The Innovative Economy and Contemporary Transformations," "Cultural Industry and Socio-Political Stakes," and "Cities, Margins, and Cultural Geography: Socio-Political Challenges." These themes will provide a framework for discussing the intersections between art, design, culture, and society.

According to the institute, the conference aims to bring together experts and researchers from various fields to share their knowledge and perspectives on the topics addressed. The event is expected to provide a platform for discussion, debate, and exchange of ideas on the role of art, design, and culture in shaping society and responding to socio-political challenges.
