Communality

The Festival that connects the Aegean landscape and nature with Audiovisual Arts, Little Islands Festival (LIF) is addressing an open call for its 4th edition towards all artistic communities experimenting with hybrid artistic practices at the boundaries of the performing and digital arts.

#Communality 

LIF 2022's new open call through the theme "Communality" places artistic creation at the core of Community to trace the meanings and representations of community life in space, place and time. Through contemporary art, we seek to create a cultural experience that elevates co-creation, shared experience, and participation into a driving force for the day to come.

*This year’s categories include:

LIF 2022 is looking for proposals in the following categories: AV Performances, Music, VJ, Interactive Installations, Video Art, Animation, Silent Film with live soundscapes, Virtual Reality, 3D Mapping projection, Workshops. Special emphasis will be given to artistic proposals with interactive art interventions and works that propose the experience of participation.

Site-Specific "Cosmolocalism''. Each community is local yet recognizes a vast world outside its borders that shapes itself-image. The concept of cosmolocalism wants here to transfer the topical to the imaginary dimension of the universal, the common belonging to humanity, to project the local wealth globally without however eliminating its specificity.

Indicatively, the artistic process may involve interconnected works in the form of texts, photographic narratives, music, sounds, films and other forms of new media practices. This application concerns artists engaged in the research, protection or production of cultural heritage (tangible and intangible) and collective memory of communities in Greece. 

The selected proposals are scheduled to be presented in August of 2022 for the 4th edition of the Little Islands Festival (LIF), in the Cycladic settlement "Castle" of Sikinos.
