Climate Action International Artist Call

We are encouraging artists to respond to to the topic of Climate Change. We want to see responsive, expressive artwork that explore opinion, urgency and solution to this global crisis. We are interested in artists creating responsive, challenging work that addresses the direct causes and the push pull factors at hand.

Often described as the greatest threat to humanity Climate Change is a crisis fuelled by consumer society, yet climate change denial is still all too common amongst the political elite. The burden seems left at the hands of ordinary people to act, 15 year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg’s speech at the COP24 was a inspirational assault, demanding unilateral, collective action.

SOMW019 OPEN CALL

  "We are beyond marks, boundaries and social classes. We permeate all the layers and aspects of the world society" Emmeline Pankhurst

Leaving our homeland can change many aspects of our lives, letting us discover tastes, smells, new friends or even ourselves; leaving our homeland can let us find a good job, love, or freedom, but in the same way, it can reveal void, suffering, distance, and absence. You are invited to contribute to this exploration of the women in movement’s world regardless of your social status, background, age or nationality.
