GUTSTRING — A Platform for Unfinished Ideas (Showcase) — Art, Writing, Poetry — Open Call

GUTSTRING invites writers and digital artists to let it all out. In an era of polished facades and forced consensus, authentic expression has lost its breathing room. We are reclaiming it.

"MORE CARNAGE" invites the world to define a new standard for digital authenticity. We are inviting digital artists, videographers, photographers, musicians and anyone creative to submit work that confronts the boundaries of generative censorship.

Deadline: September 1, 2021

Run by Nat Ware (@warenat on instagram), Residual Believers was started as a platform for other artists whose work has been influenced by their experience with Catholicism and the Church.
