<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"><b>Artistic Research Working Group of Performance Studies international (PSi)<br>
PSi 28: Uhambo Luyazilawula (Embodied Wandering Practices)</b><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"><b><br>
</b>The <b>Artistic Research Working Group (ARWG)</b> of <b>Performance Studies international (PSi)</b> invites proposals to its 2023 gatherings. Following the ARWG’s established “PERFORM/RESPOND/EXTEND” framework, <b>three interconnected online gatherings</b> will
be held, one month apart, between <b>30 June and 30 August, 2023</b>. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"><o:p></o:p>The ARWG <b>in-person gathering</b> will be held <b>onsite</b> in conjunction with PSi 28 in Johannesburg, South Africa, <b>2 - 5 August 2023</b>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; margin: 0cm;">The PSi 28 theme — Uhambo Luyazilawula (Embodied Wandering Practices) — is particularly well-suited to the ARWG’s preoccupations. The conference <a href="https://www.psi-web.org/2022/11/28/call-for-proposals-psi28-johannesburg-2023/" style="color: blue;">Call
for Proposals</a> (<a href="https://www.psi-web.org/2022/11/28/call-for-proposals-psi28-johannesburg-2023/" style="color: blue;">https://www.psi-web.org/2022/11/28/call-for-proposals-psi28-johannesburg-2023/</a>) explicitly emphasizes “performative ‘wanderings’:
creative journeys and intersections between past, present, and future, digital and in-person” and “alternative epistemologies: explorations of undiscovered performances, pedagogies and practices.” In this, it clearly shares the ARWG’s priorities of "mobility,
wandering, and fluidity” in terms of subject matter and process design.<o:p></o:p></p>
