#OctopusStory Open Call for Proposals - Installation and Art Direction

#OctopusStory Open Call for Proposals

Project Background

Portsmouth is a city surrounded by the sea. Changes to the health of the ocean have an impact on the city, from pollution to rising sea levels we are as affected as the creatures that live in the water.

A nine-month long project is working with people across the city to produce a large-scale immersive audio-visual installation and theatre performance inspired by the ‘Octopus Medicine’ poems by Becci Louise. This will encourage audiences to develop a connection with the ocean, both as an otherworld and an eco-system upon which our own, terrestrial lives, thoroughly rely.

Open Call For Female Artists

Kato Wong Gallery are giving female artists a space to discuss their feelings about recent upsetting events. There have been murders of young women in London, the Roe Vs Wade controversy amongst others.
You are invited to respond with artwork, either pre existing or new. Anger will be part of the discussion, but you are encouraged to educate both men and women about your experiences, your bodies, sexuality.
We invite female-identifying artists anywhere in the world to apply, regardless of experience.

Sleeve Shock

Sleeve Shock and Birth Sleeves? are two complementary exhibitions and talks events running in parallel from Monday 3rd until Sunday 16th October. (Frieze London 2022 runs from 12-16th October).

They are intended to provoke discussion around the human skin as a primary signifier of identity. The dialogue between the two shows will enable comparative views from different life phases, and evoke a trans-humanist perspective on identify conflict.

This is an open call for artists to take part in Sleeve Shock, which could provide an opportunity for artists from outside the capital to exhibit in the London art scene.

Birth Sleeves?
