CALL FOR ARTISTS
SIN LUGAR:
(THIS)PLACEMENT & (DES)BORDES
In a time of uncertainty and struggle we are seeking to carve out a space for all, reclaiming our identity and right to exist. We invite you to contribute to our second issue titled (This)placement & (Des)Bordes.
For this number, we want to explore how borders- both visible and invisible- are reimagined, and how the right to exist in different territories has always been an experience that transforms ourselves as well as our surroundings.
To us, (Des)bordes signals the identities that are unable to be contained by borders. It is when there are expressions that are an excess from the norm. We are looking for work that captures this fluidity and challenges fixed definitions of place and self. Whether you explore the narratives of displacement or the ever-changing contours of identity, we welcome your insights and artistic visions.
Join us in this conversation about what it means to navigate a world where home is always in flux. Share your experiences, challenge conventional ideas, and help us rethink the boundaries that shape our lives.
What is a home that never settles? What is a root when the soil changes beneath you before you can even grow?
