56th Conference of the International Visual Literacy Association(IVLA)

About the Conference

The conference theme for this year is “Illuminating Perspectives through Critical Visual Literacy”. We invite you to explore and discuss various aspects of this theme with us as we delve into the realm of personal and collective meaning-making, agentive practice, and the transformation of sociopolitical realities.

At the heart of our conference is the recognition of the profound impact that visual representations have on our lives and society. Through critical visual literacy, we aim to shed light on the ways in which images, symbols, and narratives shape our understanding of the world.

This conference will be a hybrid conference featuring an online conference day Monday, November 4th with in-person conference events happening Sunday, October 6th through Wednesday, October 9th.

Presentations presented during the virtual part of the conference will occur according to the Central Time Zone.
