TRANSIENCE | OPEN CALL | PRAXIS DIRECTORS GALLERY
Entry Deadline | Mar 15th, 2022
Notice of Acceptance | Mar 23rd, 2022
Exhibition Dates | April 16th – 30th 2022
Theme: Transience | Guest Curator: Aline Smithson
The last two years have been profound in our reconsiderations of self. The pandemic has transformed the way we behave, has affected our psyches, and made us examine what is most important in our lives. We discovered that everything is fleeting and temporary, ever changing, moving, and evolving. Transience comes in many forms and awareness of the transience of all things heightens appreciation of their beauty and evokes a gentle sadness at their passing.
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that speaks to the transitory nature of life--from flora and fauna, from objects left behind after a loved ones passing, to memories and loss. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
