Uneven Ground

Despite constant movement, networking, exchange and an abundance of information, we rarely come into contact with the really unknown, the unexpected.

LagosPhoto20: Home Museum. Deadline: July 31, 2020

Dear Friend, We hope you and your family are keeping well during these trying times. I write to invite you to participate in an exciting initiative that is being organised by LagosPhoto20. You don’t need to have a professional camera, you may use whatever device you have – a smartphone is fine. The idea is to “shine your eyes” on our homes as if they were museums. We invite you to take part in building this new virtual Home Museum. As we go about our busy lives, we often forget the small things worth preserving – what we are calling “objects of virtue” – objects that are important to each person, family and home. Some treasures we use everyday, some we keep, some we hold close, some we lose, and some are simply forgotten and not preserved at all. For example, a watch passed down from a father to his child, an ibeji doll, a piece of woven cloth from our grandmother, an old photograph or newspaper cut-out, a souvenir from the last city we visited, the first mobile phone we owned, or a medal won at a sports competition. All these evoke memories and tell stories about our culture and history in ways we don’t always recognise. To participate, all you need to do is photograph a personal selection of these “objects of virtue” and email these images to the address below. During LagosPhoto20, your own “Home Museum” will be exhibited online. With this rapid response, we hope to hold onto these valuable artefacts with you for the benefit of future generations and begin conversations about our collective histories. What you need to do! Send your photos (between 6-12 max) to homemuseum@lagosphotofestival.com Please write your name, age, contact information, and a short description of these objects and why they are important to you and your family. Deadline for submission is 31st July 2020. If you need to know more, please write to info@afrcanartists.org We look forward to your contribution and to building the first online Home Museum together. In solidarity, Azu Nwagbogu Director, LagosPhoto

Student Call – Generation Z. Deadline: June 1, 2020

OPEN STUDENT CALL
In addition to the regular open call, Noorderlicht has launched an international Open Student Call for the upcoming festival ‘Generation Z’, to give the generation central to the festival a voice. Students who use lens-based media are asked to express their vision of the future in a single image, in the light of the crisis in which the world finds itself. These images will get a place in the festival.

In recent weeks we have seen a large dose of creative images pass, by people who give substance to their temporary quarantine, who are looking for activities to combat boredom or for ways to speak out. This special time brings to light an unprecedented inventiveness. Humour breaks through the tension, connects and gives us the mental space to put things into perspective.

However, visualizing what this crisis means for us, what it does to us mentally and how it affects our vision of the future is of a completely different order. By letting lens-based students from all over the world reflect on this, we hope to gain insight into the future expectations of a generation. The submitted images will be presented as a futurama in the festival.

—

SUBMISSIONS
Please note: this is about a single shot futurama. You are asked to make one image, that reflects what the current situation in the world personally does or mean to you. Participating in the call also means participating in the festival. By submitting an image, you give Noorderlicht permission to use your image on its website and social media, of course with credit lines.

Send your submission to pandora@noorderlicht.com before 1 June 2020 and use a file service such as WeTransfer if the image is too large to send as an email attachment.

Image
File format: maximum (native) resolution of your camera, so we can print in large format. RGB, high res JPEG or TIFF, ready to print. The file name contains the name of the author, a title and / or a caption.
