Centre for Feminist Research Graduate Student Conference: Assemblia
The Centre for Feminist Research is pleased to announce that we are accepting submissions for our upcoming conference, ASSEMBLIA, taking place on October 22, 2026. This is the inaugural conference in what we hope will become an annual event organized by graduate students and members of the CFR. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for emerging and independent artists and scholars by bringing together studio practice, criticism and theory, gender studies, and art history. We welcome academic articles, poetry, short fiction, artworks, and essays. Any questions can be directed towards the Assemblia Graduate Student Leadership Team (Julia and Ame) at CFRfeministfestival@gmail.com The conference is free and open to graduate students, independent scholars, artists, and interdisciplinary practitioners. Any questions can be directed towards the Assemblia Graduate Student Leadership Team (Julia and Ame) at CFRfeministfestival@gmail.com Our Objective Assemblia is organized through a collaborative, non-hierarchical structure grounded in accessibility, shared decision-making, and collective accountability. Assemblia approaches feminism as a lived practice—often present even when it is not named. Across cultures and histories, feminist resistance has been misrecognized as hysteria, sanctity, deviance, or danger. Assemblia brings together people interested in attending to the language of feminism as acts of care, survival, and uprising.
