CILAVS Early Career Researchers Network is a collaborative and interdisciplinary space where postgraduate students at Birkbeck College can discuss ideas and develop projects on visual studies related to Iberian and Latin-American contexts. It emerged in 2022 under the umbrella of the Centre for Iberian and Latin American Visual Studies at Birkbeck, University of London.
The network seeks to disseminate early career researchers' theoretical and empirical work and organise events like film screenings, exhibitions and panels of discussion on visual arts, promoting engagement with other organisations, artists, scholars, and the community.
