Presented by STIGMA x Local Collective

The call is international. Submission is free.
 

Call for Submissions 2021:

This call is primarily open to artists working with film and digital arts with an interest/approach/research centered on the relationship between Feminism and the Asian Identity. It is open to artists of all ages, backgrounds and disciplines, including international artists living outside of the United Kingdom. Individual, collaborative or editorial projects are eligible. 

For 2 weeks in October 2021, we will be hosting our pop up gallery in Islington, ‘ZAO TANG: Pop Up Gallery On Asian Arts and Feminism’. The gallery will become a space for social exchange and creative discourse, charged with the theme ‘What does it mean to be an Asian woman?’. The curation of artworks will present a connective strength that speaks about the identity of Asian feminism, provide assurance to vulnerable members of Asian communities of London, support under-represented Asian creatives, and invite all members of the local community to join in and celebrate cultural diversity.

Alongside our partners, we have, at present, selected 5 female artists to exhibit their works. They include Yushi Li, Hannah Lim, Ayumi Kajiwara, Young Sook Choi and STIGMA. With this open call, we would like to invite one more artist/s (individual or collaborative). The successful applicant will have the opportunity to exhibit the work, network with artists, curators, collectors and the wider public. Guidance and promotion through our (and our partners’) channels and network will be provided. The exhibition will also appear in a number of publications.
