What is it?
The Symposium offers a unique opportunity for both in-person and virtual gatherings, focusing on exploring various facets of flamenco and related hybrid, diasporic art forms. It fosters the exchange of research, history, and theories, enriching traditional educational approaches with innovative ideas in the dynamic realm of the arts. Presentations include contributions from faculty, staff, and students of higher education, as well as artists, independent researchers, K-12 educators, community leaders, administrators, non-profit partners, and other professionals, blending practice-based insights with scholarly discourse.
Conference theme:
Flamenco, with its roots deeply embedded in community and emotional expression, serves as a unifying force across various settings, from informal gatherings to professional stages. The rich tapestry of emotions encompassed within flamenco music and dance - sadness, fury, pain, joy, and hope - fosters a sense of connection among people. This shared emotional experience is not unique to flamenco but resonates across related music and dance forms practiced by marginalized communities worldwide.
The communal and emotive essence of flamenco necessitates collaboration and coexistence. This year's conference aims to delve into how flamenco and related art forms address trauma, communal healing, and creative expression. We invite proposals exploring how these practices foster radical healing and contribute to the creation of collective healing spaces, whether on a local or global scale.
Additionally, we seek to understand the role of cultural practices, such as flamenco, in nurturing communities and addressing ancestral and generational trauma. How do these practices sustain communities, and how do communities, in turn, preserve and transmit these embodied traditions?
For who?
Faculty, staff, and students of higher education, artists, independent researchers, K-12 educators, community leaders, administrators, non-profit partners, and other professionals are invited to participate. The New Perspectives in Flamenco History and Research Symposium.
A portion of this conference is made possible by the New Mexico Humanities Council.
