HUMAIN is a project, conference, and platform that opens up, unites, and connects themes and experts from the fields of artificial intelligence, art, design, and the humanities. The project arises from the collaboration of theorists and practitioners, not only from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Brno University of Technology and the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University.

The symposium/unconference Synthesizing Knowledge with an open program of short keynotes took place at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology on December 5–7, 2022, and was about interdisciplinary, collective, reflexive, affective, and socially engaged research in art, design, humanities, and social sciences.

The symposium focused on creative practice that aims to co-create more just communities. It critically positions itself against unjust power systems that structure how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. These potential communities – referred to as communities of the future – are understood both institutionally and ecologically. Their conceptualisation draws from feminist, anti-colonial, and environmental art and thought, with a particular focus on issues concerning education, collective organising, and human-nature relationships.

The conference organized by the Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology, the Society for Queer Memory, the Institute of Economic and Social History at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, will deal with queer history in the Czech Lands in Central European and international context in autumn 2019 at the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the ground-breaking conference Homosexuality in the Czech Lands and the Humanities. By “queer history” we mean approaches to historical research, which endeavor to critically analyze heteronormative structures in society and stereotypes in thinking, related to the bipolar image of gender and biological sex, using the selection of topics and applied methods.

International conference focused on data and fine art. Conference Datatata aimed to discuss a wide range of questions about how the artistic practise is affected by contemporary phenomena of massive data collecting and data interpretation. The conference was one of the outputs of the project Decentralized Big Data Collection, Analysis, Visualization, and Interpretation in Art Practice, supported by Technology Agency of the Czech Republic.

The conference organized by the Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology thematically covered questions of relation between the art, mainly the digital image, and truth. In the age denominated by the attribute "post-factual", the new evaluation is taking place: how have the conditions of digital distribution changed in the Information Age? Does this new situation make fertile ground for cynical resignation, or conversely, for the hopeful creation of new ethical and political possibilities? What role should the art play in the reformation of our understanding of truth?

On 12th October 2016, a PhD conference organised by the Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology took place in the lecture and exhibition building of the Methodological Centre for Modern Architecture, located in the grounds of the Stiassni Villa in Brno's Masaryk district. PhD students from the Fine Arts study programme and related fields from seven academies and universities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia presented their contributions at the conference
