Call for Submissions

In the hope of collecting more submissions (particularly written responses), the open call for House Letters Issue 3 has been extended to Sunday 27 September. People of colour and those from marginalised and or under-represented backgrounds are especially encouraged to submit and their work – in all formats – will be prioritised. No formal creative experience necessary.

House Letters is a new independent and interdisciplinary online publication that engages with the uncertain times caused by COVID-19. Following publication of the first and second issues in May and August respectively, the third issue will explore the theme ‘Build and Dismantle’ and be published in November 2020.

Nouvel Organon is pleased to invite emerging and established artists, art collectives, group of artists, architects, writers, performers, philosophers, social workers and everyone otherwise involved in contemporary art to submit a project for an opportunity to participate in the exhibition 'Cruising Dystopia' which will take place October 16-19 in Berlin, Germany.

Gay cruising areas, based on utopian ideas of freedom and a sense of finally being oneself, can otherwise turn into dystopian spaces, where one comes face-to-face with the limits and borders of that same society. The act of cruising is defined by a longing for intimacy, precisely in the lack thereof from that other “world” that is so violently exclusionary.
