Home Not Home Group Art & Writing Project and Exhibition
Call for Writing:
Seeking writing from 10 words to 1,000 words in all forms: Haiku, Poetry, Short Story, Essay, Fiction, Non-Fiction on the theme of “Home Not Home.
Home Not Home explores ideas of the world we want and also examines the complicated dichotomies of the concept of home. Home Not Home will investigate various themes, including: belonging/not belonging, freedom/captivity, safety/danger, comfort/discomfort, inclusive/exclusive, building/destroying, and place/displacement.
Home Not Home aims to demonstrate that while the concept of home is universal, the experience is very personal.
Note: For this project, we seek submissions that include “Home” as in the world we want, solutions, liberation, and dreams, and not only a critique, “Not Home,” the world that is.
DEADLINE to submit Application/Writing is NOVEMBER 15th:
Please feel free to turn in application with final written work prior to the deadline, but no later than this date so that we have time to document and catalog all the submissions
About the Project and Exhibition:
The project is a collaboration between AnySquared Projects and Pilsen Art and Community House (PACH), as part of the Home Not Home Series. We are excited to also inspire collaboration between writers and artists while they explore the Home Not Home theme.
Accepted writer’s works prompt new works of visual artists. The collaborative works will result in a poster series distributed city-wide and exhibited at PACH.
In early 2024, PACH and AnySquared will host a “meet and greet” at AnySquared Studio for writers and visual artists to exchange ideas for the posters. The exhibition will be in May 2024 at PACH with an opening, and a series of arts programming including workshops, spoken word events, music nights, markets, and gallery hours.
Exhibition Opening: Friday, May 3rd, 2024Exhibition runs: May 3rd – June 2nd
