Second International Research Conference on Visual and Performing Arts 2025

The Second International Research Conference of the Faculty of Performing Arts, University of Jaffna, is scheduled to be held from October 9th to 11th, 2025. The conference theme is “Tamilian Arts: Tradition and Transformation.” Tamil arts possess enduring traditions that reflect the rituals, beliefs, and cultural values inherent in the lives of the people. Modernization, globalization, and social change have introduced new trends within these art forms. Simultaneously, traditional arts have assimilated novel elements and incorporated innovations to meet contemporary needs, while retaining their foundational principles. This evolution of Tamil arts in the visual and performing domains has garnered significant attention across various disciplines. This research conference aims to preserve and critically examine artistic traditions.
