Creating a continuity between creative discourse practices in her artistic work (GROUND VIEW, 2022; ON THE LINE, 2024; and &€(/Ø⎍♺ (@þ!+@(_$), 2025) previous keynotes ('Getting Sounds to Do as they Say', Cph 2023), and a pedagogical development project at the Academy of Music in Aarhus ('Resonance in composition pedagogy'), Juliana Hodkinson will hold an interactive keynote at the Society for Artistic Research's annual conference at i2ADS, University of Porto, Friday 9th May at 14:30.

The 16th International Conference on Artistic Research is hosted by i2ADS, University of Porto, and the Society of Artistic Research (SAR), and is the largest conference on practice-based research through the arts. The SAR Conference brings together leading practitioners, scholars and policymakers to showcase exemplary artistic research projects while focusing on key issues through critical debate.
At a time when art and culture, local and global policies and events are haunted by societal challenges as vast as they are unpredictable, what can artistic researchers offer in response to these concerns? How can artistic research resonate beyond its specific contexts and disciplinary borders?
Resonance is a prompt to address the transformative nature of artistic research as a connective element that evokes a response and qualifies our experiences as meaningful. However, it can also be understood as a critical tool characterised by reciprocity and mutual transformation. Resonance is a response to personal and global challenges both poetically and through modes of political imagination and transformative meeting spaces.
Getting into resonance is to create a relation between artistic research and the world that requires questioning and answering, but also the ability to change and be changed.
