Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University International Journal of Art and Design (KMUIJAD) is an international, open access and peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes qualified articles and reviews in the fields of art and design. The journal accepts articles in Turkish and English and is published twice a year, in June and December.
The main aim of the journal, which is based on the inseparable relationship between art and design disciplines, is to contribute to the holistic approach of these two fields. Just as art cannot survive in today's world without design, design without artistic aesthetics and values will not be able to meet users' expectations. In this context, the journal encourages scholarly studies that address the intersections of these fields by not considering art and design disciplines separately.

SCOPE

Art and design is a phenomenon without borders, but based on contextuality. The meaning of art and design emerges from an in-depth study and analysis of contextual elements. These contextual elements include the artwork itself, the artist, technical conditions, political and aesthetic approaches, economic foundations and many other elements. Local knowledge can only be considered valuable to the extent that it opens the door to a universal virtue. Therefore, knowledge gained from local examples should focus on answering theoretical and practical questions about the purpose of art's existence.
Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University International Journal of Art and Design is an international peer-reviewed journal with an editorial structure that adopts this philosophy. The journal aims to contribute to the accumulation of artistic knowledge by focusing on all academic issues related to art. In this direction, the development and advancement of art research has been established as a priority goal.
Our journal covers academic studies on a wide range of subjects such as painting, graphic design, visual communication design, fashion and design, textile design, cinema and television, photography, digital arts, new media, cyber culture, visual culture, digital society, digital games, ceramics, sculpture, music, musicology, music technologies, music therapy, architecture, interior design, animation, performing arts, traditional arts, crafts, art history, art philosophy, art sociology, contemporary art, cultural heritage, museology, conservation and restoration. The journal also publishes special issues to support academic studies in all areas of art and design, contributing to the survival of people and subjects related to this field on the academic platform.
