Courage to freedom?
Freedom has fallen into disrepute. Functionally obstructed, hijacked and dumped – not only within the programmatic chains of exploitation of political parties.
Do we need new everyday life myths, new patterns for our spiritual existence, a new order of reality? Does freedom enable new visions? A different art, a different politics, a different life?
Reconstruct!
The old narratives have served their time. When we create, we liberate ourselves – towards a positive freedom, not just being free of something, but freedom for something.
From subject to project.
We invite you to bring your idea of freedom into format with us: freedom books. Printed and bound. The call is open to artists and creative collectives working with photography, illustrations and/or texts.
This means:
- send us a PDF with your work on the topic of freedom
- a project description (max. 1 A4 page)
- a CV with your artistic career (max. 1 A4 page)
- a link to your website or Instagram account (if available)
Up until when?
Deadline for submitting your work is September 15th 2020
Send it where?
per Mail to: submissions@bummbummbooks.de
And then what?
We will pick four projects from all submissions. Printing costs, visual editing, layout and production are covered by the publisher. The artist will receive a 50% share of the revenue from the sale.
The format?
freedom books are expected to be produced as follows (subject to change):
Number of pages: 32, print-run: 650 copies, format: 171 x 210 mm, print: 4/4 color
