Hello Please can you send the following call-out to the SPECTRE list? Many thanks Diana.
*Call out:* *‘Hide me, Steal Me, Be Nice to Me’* * (Freedom to roam, overcoming barriers, confronting crossings)* Curator: Diana Ali (UK) www.dianaali.com *Gallery: ARTE.M, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.* Dates: July 2024 (exact dates TBC) An exhibition of contemporary artwork investigating confrontational crossings, overcoming barriers & freedom of movement. *Concept: * We are facing many barriers globally where our identities are being bruised, rejected, and turned away. This leaves a tension for bodies, thoughts and circumstances to be accepted and co-exist. Artists are invited to contest and question what it means to face barriers. Often our artworks have been declined from being shown and exhibited. This exhibition gives opportunity for the art to migrate. There may not be a utopia, but there are ways of overcoming barriers. Imagine the artwork being personified. What would it say if it had freedom of movement, no immigration law, finding asylum and a sense of belonging without being displaced? Artists are invited to submit explorative and experimental photographic work/s that relate to the concept. *Work accepted:* Photography (Photography is a loose term. This can be interpreted as negatives, scans, film stock, collaged photos, varied photographic formats, celluloid, stills from video/ film, analogue, digital, pinhole, polaroid, vernacular photography). *Please send originals artworks and not photographs of work.* *Size:* Acceptable size: No larger than 66cm x 38cm (26” x 15”) Ultimately, it will fit in a suitcase and be able to travel to its destined place. *Application:* To apply please send up to 2/3 jpeg images of the work (include dimensions & medium) and an approximately 50-100 word statement about how the work links to the theme to alidi...@gmail.com <fringeartsbath-misinformat...@yahoo.com> Artists will be notified of acceptance approx. 1 week after the closing date. Further details regarding logistics will be provided to successful artists. Please note that the submission process is free but if artists are selected, they are required to pay a £10 (GBP) administration fee which covers promotion, space hire, marketing and admin costs. *Deadline for submissions: 30th March 2024. * -- Diana Ali (MA,HFEA) Visual Artist & International Curator. www.dianaali.com Professional/Creative Mentor, Workshop Leader, Lecturer, Axis board member, NWC Board member.
