[spectre] Call-out for exhibition in Madeira, Portugal

[Diana Ali]

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:*

& medium) and an approximately 50-100 word statement about how the work
links to the theme to alidiana at gmail.com
