ABOUT US .
CONFIA is the International Conference on Illustration and Animation at the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave, organized by School of Design under the auspices of the Masters in Illustration and Animation. This is CONFIA’s twelfth conference after previous editions in several portuguese cities such as Porto, Braga, Barcelos, Guimarães, Viana do Castelo and Caldas da Rainha among others.
It is intended to be a pivotal moment in the contemporary discussion of these areas, which have a long tradition and, at the same time, are pioneers in technological innovation. We intend to broadly explore the multidisciplinary space that includes illustration and the animated image, from the construction of the narrative to character development, from art theory to critical reflection on the objects that populate the market and the industry. The conference seeks quality original submissions from artists, the creative industries as well as from the scientific and academic community.
Accepted full papers will be in the conference proceedings (with ISBN). You can find a pdf version of previous proceedings on this website. The previous CONFIA’s proceedings are included in Clarivate Analytics Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI).
