What is the present and future of platforms - projects, forums, academic 
journals, and academic publishing – for presenting and distributing 
writing, criticism, academic thought, artistic research, poetry and 
prose, and image-led contributions? What are these platform’s principles 
and range of practices? (What do we do, how do we do it, and why?) What 
purpose can and should such platforms play as communities, 
collaborations, meeting points, networks, cultures of care, mutual aid? 
What of the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of sharing? Has the digital 
democratised, made accessible, globally? Should we re-imagine what such 
platforms can be and do, and if so, how and to what end

Our contributors will discuss their position on these and other matters 
of concern as writers, critics, commissioning editors, editors, 
academics, and practitioners

This is the latest in a series of events organised by Journal of Visual 
Culture to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Please enjoy some of JVC’s 
open access initiatives including: 'The JVC Palestine Portfolio';

The next event on Wednesday 20th April (6pm-8pm, UK time) will be on 
REPARATIONS, organised by Adrienne Huard (University of Manitoba, 
Canada) and Gabrielle Moser (York University, Canada), and marks the 
publication of a forthcoming themed issue of JVC, guest edited by Huard 
and Moser. Contributors to be confirmed
