OPEN CALL - DEADLINE EXTENDED

They say identity: we say multitude

Nature is a complex, infinite web of existences, multiple beings transmuting chaotically and endlessly from one into the other. To inhabit and acknowledge the multiple and the queer in Nature allows for the existence of free bodies, outside the system of taxonomies, resisting categorizations, the norm, the binaries.

The program around the exhibition “They say identity: we say multitude” seeks to delve into expressions that poetically, artistically, or critically engage with the notion of the multiplicity of existences, of bodies as free entities, dissidents of the western systems and categorizations.

We invite submissions of performance pieces, workshops and written works that grapple with this concept from various perspectives—be it personal reflections, artistic interpretations, or poetic expressions. We aim to showcase voices residing at the intersection, embodying the essence of non-conformity.

Join us in celebrating the boundless diversity of existence and the power of dissent in shaping our understanding of identity and belonging.
