INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC CALL FOR ENTRY
Category:
Theme:
Eligibility:
Berlin-based photography gallery Fotogalerie Friedrichshain is pleased to invite artists to participate in its next collective photography exhibition on the theme « Portraits without borders ».
APPLICATION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 14, 2021
What makes a photograph a portrait? Today, portrait photography is everywhere and has become a more and more powerful tool in defining individual and collective identities. Portraiture has been constantly reinvented by photographers since the mid-19th century. It has expanded without limits, into a wide spectrum of practices. Defining what a photographic portrait is seems increasingly complex. Fotogalerie Friedrichshain invites photographers to gather in a group exhibition that will challenge the limits of current portrait photography.
Exhibition dates: December 9, 2021 – January 21, 2022
How to apply?
Submit up to 15 images (1600 pixels on the longest side each), your personal info (full name, location, email, phone number, website/instagram) and a brief artist statement on your contribution (up to 150 words), through Wetransfer to fotogalerie@kulturring.berlin
Selected photographers will be notified by November 19, 2021
Exhibition prints
To enter the exhibition, selected photographers can either:
– ship or personally deliver the exhibition prints to Fotogalerie Friedrichshain. If you’d like your prints back, please don’t forget to include return postage and packaging, otherwise they will be stored in the gallery archives or destroyed.
– or, have their images printed in Berlin by Fotogalerie Friedrichshain. Printing fees will be billed to artists.
Selected photographers will receive instructions on shipping their images or on submitting their high-res digital files for printing. Fotogalerie has a wide range of frames in different sizes if needed.
Use rights
Photographers retain full rights to their own images. Photographers whose submission is selected grant Fotogalerie Friedrichshain the nonexclusive right to use, print, and reproduce their images for the purpose of promoting the artists, the exhibition and its related programs, and subsequent display on Fotogalerie Friedrichshain’s website, social media and online exhibition channels.

CALL FOR CURATORIAL RESEARCH RESIDENCIES IN BERLIN FOR EMERGING CURATORS AND CULTURAL PRACTITIONERS BASED ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT
Category:
Eligibility:
As part of the programme TURN2 - Artistic Co-Creation between Germany and African Countries, the Federal Cultural Foundation launched the TURN2 Residencies - Curatorial Research Residencies in Berlin, Lagos, Nairobi and Johannesburg in April 2021.
In September 2021, the open call for emerging curators based in the African continent coming to ZK/U Berlin goes into the second round. For curators based in Germany, there will be no second open call.
This call invites emerging curators in the contemporary visual arts or with a cross-disciplinary approach and cultural practitioners with a curatorial interest based in the African continent, to undertake a funded 3-month residency at ZK/U Berlin. The residencies will take place between April 2022 and December 2022 (exact dates to be finalised in consultation between the host and each selected candidate).
In the first round of the open call in April 2021, an expert jury selected six emerging curators from the African continent to conduct research at ZK/U Berlin between September 2021 and March 2022. Simultaneously, nine emerging curators from Germany were selected to conduct curatorial research in Lagos, Nairobi and Johannesburg.
The TURN2 Residencies promote the initiation of curatorial partnerships and transcontinental networks between emerging curators and established art and cultural institutions as well as the exchange between the respective art scenes. The TURN2 Residencies are a joint project of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation), the ZK/U Berlin and the Triangle Network, and are carried out in collaboration with the Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute (NCAI), the G.A.S. Foundation in Lagos and the Bag Factory in Johannesburg.

IN//BETWEEN №6 OPEN CALL
Category:
Theme:
Eligibility:
We are happy to invite artists to participate in OPEN CALL of the 6th edition of the artist residency IN//BETWEEN.
In//Between is not just an exhibition. It is a collaborative project that brings together artists from different cultures and parts of the world. In//Between is about creating a space that does not belong to any one artist, culture, language, art form, or discipline. For four weeks, the six artists selected examine the ways they have previously seen and done things and look to what lies ahead: an open canvas, a blank role of film, a block of clay, an idea or vision that has not been thought of before. Throughout this residency, the artists collaborate to build a unique exhibition that showcases the nexus between cross-cultural dialogue, experience, and growth. They will create a space where diversity leads the way. Accepted artists must commit to attend all planning, preparing, gathering, and discussion evenings. The work for this exhibition must be created between the initial group meeting and the opening of the exhibition. Previously created works will not be accepted.
Green Hill Gallery (Berlin, Germany) will be available as a studio space for all In//Between artists from October 11 through November 5, 2021. The vernissage will occur on November 5, 2021.
Who should apply?
This program is suited for any artists who will be in Berlin during the entire period of the residency from October through November 2021 and are willing and open to discussions, feedback, and working in a group context. The program supports emerging and established artists working with any medium. Applicants must exhibit foundational skills in creating and exhibiting art through their portfolio submissions.
Because of travel restrictions due to the pandemic, we only accept applications from who is already in EU.
What do you get?
• Weekly personal studio visits from the residency coordinator for coaching and feedback
• Weekly teaching on current art topics/theory by the residency coordinator and other local artists
• Bi-Weekly led outings to studios and exhibitions in Berlin
• Mentoring from previous participants of IN//Between
