We have been participating in conferences by Common Ground Research Networks since 2012, and we have found that they always provide, through the gathering of different perspectives, experiences, knowledge, methodologies, and cultural origins, a place for the development of research and the sharing of ideas. This conference aims to follow and expand the core values of Common Ground: more specifically, knowledge sharing, dialogue, and interdisciplinarity aimed at creating a space of intellectual interaction and imagination for the future in society. This is also the reason why we proposed the theme, “Art as Communication: The Impact of Art as a Catalyst for Social Change,” as the Special Focus for the conference. From our perspective, art, in its diverse forms, constitutes a distinctive means of communication, capable of generating dialogues in formal, informal, and culturally plural contexts within society. Art opens windows to understanding social interactions as it provides historical records of social evolution. With this special focus, we aim to create an enriched discussion about art and its reflection and impacts within contemporary social contexts, and about how art can prompt us to consider questions of identity (human, natural, and material). The scope on “social change” by art is determined to exceed its primary goal of reflection, mainly through new expressions in culture and identity. Bringing the “social” to discussion and reflection in this context emphasizes its importance and relevance within communities where it would be possible to research and develop active, collaborative, and participative approaches. At this conference, we are privileged to host five of the most relevant scholars and specialists in the field as plenary speakers: Cristina Pratas Cruzeiro, PostDoc Researcher at FCT, Integrated Researcher, Institute of Art History, Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, New University of Lisbon, Portugal; Delfim Sardo, Professor, University of Coimbra, Portugal; Hugo Martinez de Seabra, Project Manager, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s Social Cohesion and Integration Program, Lisbon, Portugal; Makeba Lewis, International Academic, Chelsea, Camberwell, and Wimbledon College of Arts, University of the Arts London, UK; and Susana Gomes da Silva, Education Officer, Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon, Portugal. We would very much like to thank them for honoring us with their presence and participation. We also would like to thank the members of DesignLab4u team that created the conference image and helped to organize and support the conference; namely, Susana Torres, responsible for the Education Superior School communications office, who helped so much with all the logistic issues of the event; Susana Major, author of the conference graphic logo as a project for her final MA degree thesis; Diogo Primitivo, who elaborated the signage project for the conference and largely contributed to its dissemination; and Adriana Lourenço, Ana Rita Prior, Catarina Almeida, Inês Marcus, Márcia Rodrigues, Marta Baptista, Vanessa Caçador, and Vanessa Lança for all of their support during the conference organization. An important acknowledgment must be made to the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon, who welcomed the initiative to host the conference from the very beginning. In particular, we thank
