Cecilia De Lazzaro

Cecilia De Lazzaro (1992) is an Italian singer and performer pursuing a PhD at Conservatorio Vivaldi, exploring female labour songs through sound ecology, vocal improvisation, and ecoacoustic composition. She teaches Theory and Analysis of Traditional Musical Forms, approaching tradition with experimental and interdisciplinary methods. Her research bridges historical material and contemporary sonic practices. She has presented her work at PARL 2025 (Bruckner University, Linz) and ANDA Symposium, performed at Moncalieri and Torino Jazz Festivals, and released Razzo a Gas (2026), reinterpreting Gaslini’s Total Music through improvisation, acoustic and electronic textures, and narrative-driven soundscapes.

Sonic Archetypes of the Mondine: Artistic Research as Environmental Testimony

Endangered Conceptual Worlds

The 2026 International Forum on Artistic Research takes place from 23 to 26 June 2026. Hosted by the University of Galway on the Atlantic coast of Ireland, the Forum addresses the challenges of Endangered Conceptual Worlds. As the 17th annual conference of the Society for Artistic Research it is the largest conference on practice-based research within and through the arts, bringing together more than 300 international participants: leading practitioners, scholars and policymakers from the entire range of arts-based disciplines.

Slightly extended deadline for submissions

The 2026 Forum on Artistic Research website has been inaccessible for several hours on Friday night and Saturday morning. Unfortunately, an update to the web server was scheduled to take place, which automatically activated maintenance mode and prevented any work on the submissions during the night and the next morning. We have therefore decided to slightly extend the deadline for submissions to Monday 2 March 2026 at 23:59 GMT. Feel free to work on your proposals until then.
