OPEN CALL | OUR FUTURE – Independent & Image Art Space
Independent & Image Art Space (Chongqing, China) presents an online exhibition open call with the theme of “OUR FUTURE”.
ABOUT EXHIBITION THEME
OUR FUTURE
Art can express a stunning array of diverse and compelling perspectives capturing humanity’s resilience and undaunted hope for a brighter future; a profound awareness of our interconnectedness; a deep aspiration for equality, justice, and inclusion; and a sense of awe for nature’s beauty and its power to sustain all life.
We are calling on artists worldwide to share their views and suggestions about the future by answering the question: Within the context of the “new normal” that has unfolded post-COVID-19, and as we plan and re-build to recovery, what does the future look like to you?
