Artist opportunity “I Matter”
Which is an upcoming exhibition at the Babylon Gallery.
As a Black Curator and Artist, I am seeking innovative creative responses to the theme of ‘I Matter’, specifically targeting artists and groups from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds and communities residing in the UK.
I am currently taking part in the Babylon Young Curators Programme; a year-long professional development opportunity with Babylon Arts for young people aged 18 – 25. As a Babylon Young Curator, I am presenting an exhibition called ‘I Matter’ at Babylon Gallery in Ely, from 9 April – 3 May 2021. Work is sought from approximately 10 – 15 artists that best portray the theme. Responses to this open call should interrogate the powerful declaration, ‘I Matter’, and its recent complex iterations. I am particularly interested in work in any medium, including 2D, sculpture, installation, moving image, digital, spoken word, performance, interventions and interactive or participatory works. Responses to the open call may be new or existing artwork that has a close affinity with the ‘I Matter’ theme.
How to apply
There is no fee to submit a response to the open call. The opportunity is open to students, emerging artists and established artists aged 18+. Each artist selected for the exhibition at the Babylon Gallery will receive an Exhibition Award or honorarium of £100.
To make a submission artists are required to:
Share details of the work they would like to be considered.
Include photos, film, audio or written documents that illustrate the piece of work (up to 5 documents).
Provide a short statement in response to the ‘I Matter’ theme (up to 300 words)
