[diana ali]

*Mis-IN-FormaTion’*

*What you see isn’t what you get.** *

*Curated by Diana Ali*

*A Visual Arts Exhibition.*

*Are newspapers fair and accurate or do we get off on the scandals? Do they
make us take sides? **Its function is to predominately tell the society
about itself, to be a pollinator of its information. Its role is to inform
the citizens, or not as information is gradually travelling down, people
became ill-advised, ill-prepared and mis-informed.*

*The media, personal relationships, bureaucracy and political policies feed
us or at least give us the opportunity to contest between comment and fact
through the value of communication. Should there be a **liberty to
mis-inform people? But do people want to know?*

*To paraphrase the **BBC** producer who said, “Don’t give the public what
they want. They deserve much better than that."*

*Taking the concept of hidden truths, misquotations, rumour and gossip,
artists are invited to submit art works that investigates this avenue. Art
works submitted will give the audience the chance to be allured, intrigued,
enticed and be flirtatious with its appearance and reality. **Artworks will
explore ideas of being out of the loop, lying, pseudoscience, factoids and
conspiracy theories.*

*All art works will be considered but there is an emphasis on **alternatives
such as, projections, slide shows, interventions and installations. Please
note artists may need to provide their own equipment. *



*APPLICATION INFORMATION: *

 Please note that the submission process is free but if artists are
selected they are required to pay a £10 administration fee.

statement about how the work links to the theme to
