Live Art Performances

Free participation and artistic performance

Dear colleague, we know that the art and cultural professionals are especially vulnerable in the time of a pandemic. That is why, as a gesture of goodwill and in support of all artists, we provide 100% FREE participation and ARTISTIC PERFORMANCE within the event programme!

Creative Invitation

It is a great opportunity of displaying your work and engaging the SWS attendees. Your performance can take the form of a live demo, an interactive art exploration, a musical show, a short theatrical act, an exhibition or any combination thereof! We believe that interdisciplinary forms are the future of both Art and Science, hence we tolerate the imaginative methods of contemporary artist.

Nevertheless, our conference is focused on the classical themes of Medieval & Renaissance, we foster new approaches and interpretations towards the Classics.

We encourage all professionals from universities and higher institutions - scientists, researchers and all academics in the field of Literature and Poetry, Ethnology and Folklore, Architecture and Design, Contemporary Arts, Performing and Visual Arts to join the upcoming SWS Conference on Arts & Humanities, Bologna Extended Scientific Session!
