A Corpo Libero

“L'Intreccio Viola”, association based in Turin, promoting mental health, sexual well-being and the arts through cultural events and initiatives, opens a call for artists residing in Italy or abroad to the creation of a collective exhibition in spring 2024 entitled A Corpo Libero.

From pathologization to gender issues through collective perception, bodies are always public: from this reflection arises the need to investigate the practices of self-determination that allow us to reclaim our bodies and our images, in a context that encourage conformity, against the concepts of care and healing that are close to queer transfeminist movements in every part of the world.

Intersectional 5.0

prideART Berlin e.V. is hosting our 5th annual pride-month exhibition Intersectional. Intersectionality in our context relates to giving a platform to LGBTQIA+ artists from all backgrounds an opportunity to show their work as part of a group exhibition. We seek artists who create visual art in all media types and from various social, economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. Our only pre-requisite for inclusion in the exhibition is that the artists identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, the work does not necessarily need to have an LGBTQIA+ social commentary theme. 

Call to Artists: Queer Men Artist Lab: New Orleans

The goal of the Queer Men Artist Lab: New Orleans is to equip artists with tools and strategies for picking up the unfinished work of history and speak to contemporary civic discourse around social, economic, and environmental issues. Through interactive sessions in the Lab and panel discussions as part of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire 50th Anniversary Commemoration, artists will explore their process and practice; present a slideshow of their work; receive supportive, critical, curatorial feedback about their ideas; and discuss contemporary issues. 

Queer Conscience 2023 Photography Exhibition

Juried by: Kari Orvik, Nathan Lomas, and The Image Flow

The Image Flow invites artists closely tied to the LGBTQIA2+ community to submit work to our juried photography exhibition Queer Conscience 2023.

What could you do with a clear conscience? Who could you be? How could you live, free of judgment, shame, expectation, or fear?

The queer experience is unlike any other, and even within our vibrant community, no two queer identities are quite alike. This is what has the power to unite us; a respect for our differences that can create bonds like family. Living as a queer person can be complex, and frightening, and beautiful all at once.

QUEER SEX EXHIBITION OPEN CALL

This exhibition will contribute a queer visual vocabulary to erotica, recognising it as an influential force in fine arts. With LGBTQ+ representation becoming more commonly widespread, our queerness - our identities, our fantasies & our practices - is at times sacrificed or fetishised in an appeal to acceptance.

Shucking off this approach, queer erotica lays bare the way our lives (within ourselves and with others) push social and sexual boundaries. Across a diverse range of artistic mediums, we celebrate, mourn and fantasise about our sex lives and selves.

This exhibition will create a prioritisation from which to value forms of erotica that not only invite a queered gaze but incite a deeper connection to the whispered meanings of self and sexuality.
