We are announcing a call to participate in four conferences from the series "Design in Process" on ceramics, photography, performance arts and clothing design. One of the requirements of the Open Call, which we address to artists, designers and scientists, is to send three photographs presenting one work made by you. Participation in the project also involves participation in a multi-author publication and competitions held as part of the ART&DESIGN festival.

The body, an entity so intimately connected to us and profoundly familiar, often paradoxically escapes our attention. Nietzsche once said, “Everything starts with the body, for the body is a more astonishing thought than the ancient notion of the ‘soul.’” The body is not merely a vessel for the mind; it is through the body that we experience and interact with our environment, constructing our understanding of the world. Thought itself arises from embodied experience and interaction. Yet, as we shape our subjectivity through bodily perception, customs, culture, and information overwhelm us, dulling the body's sensory capacities, or even silencing them, replacing them with accumulated knowledge and experience. At the same time, the natural attributes of the body are increasingly layered with other properties. The body is far from being the transparent and natural entity we imagine; it no longer even remains fully under our control.
