Sheroes In Quarantine

Lon-art is glad to announce that Sheroes in Quarantine project is continuing and we are open for submissions!

We are looking for 15 new artists to give visibility to three groups of women who, due to system inequality, are being particularly affected by the Covid-19 crisis. Those groups are:  

Mothers, Women of colour, Women and Mental Health.

In these hard times of isolation, economic crisis and social distancing, we, more than ever, would like to support our community of women artists while we explore other ways to bring our events to the public. This time we are glad to support our artists with:

- £150 Reward

- £100 If they are selected

- Mindfulness programme for women artists

- Paid opportunity to participate in a talk (let us know if you have experience on this)

- The opportunity to give voice to millions of women around the world that are confronting the toughest time in their lives!

We strongly believe that now is the time to re-think our current societies and reinvent the way we live and interact with each other. We are in dire need of creative minds, activists and a sense of togetherness to be able to build a more sustainable society where nature, women and marginalised groups are respected and part of decision-making. 

This is a critical time for our community of artists, some of them might be already suffering the consequences of isolation and this social economic crisis. We hope this initiative will provide visibility to women artists and a space to reflect about some of the women's issues arisen from the COVID-19 crisis. 

So if you haven't participated to our first Sheroes in Quarantine and you are creating or planning to create an artwork telling a story about these specific themes, please let us know. Submissions are free and open till the 11th of September. Please help us to spread the voice by sending this email to all your contacts that might be interested.
