Across history and cultures, creativity has played a central role in resisting injustice, challenging dominant narratives and imagining alternative social futures. From storytelling, music and visual art to literature, performance, digital media and everyday creative practices, acts of creation often emerge in response to exclusion, oppression or crisis. Creativity can unite communities, give voice to marginalised experiences and sustain collective struggles for dignity, justice and transformation.

This conference invites interdisciplinary reflections on how creative practices function as forms of resistance and catalysts for social change. We welcome contributions that explore creativity both as an expressive response to power and as an active force shaping social, political and cultural transformations.
