We are announcing an open call for participation in the project "Art Speaks"

"Art Speaks" is an opportunity for artists to express themselves, talk about themselves and their own creativity, the projects they are currently working on, and establish a dialogue with the audience. The project is long-term, and we plan to hold such meetings once or twice a month in the format of an artist talk with the participation of several artists at once, combining them according to common themes, styles, or media.

The goal of the project is not only to discover new names and provide a platform for self-presentation, but also to create a space for meeting other artists in order to unite the artistic community, help form connections, and establish communication between artists for possible collaborations and new projects.

We will select the skippers through an open competition that will last throughout the project — there is no clear deadline. We invite participants working in the field of contemporary art, without age restrictions. Not only Dnipro residents, but also residents of other cities can apply, but travel and accommodation expenses are not included.

To participate, follow the link.

Many of us grew up in an environment where Russian narratives dominated in education, in the media, and in the art. Today, we critically rethinking the contours and extent of this influence and learning to distinguish what is ours from what was imposed on us. This is not only a cultural process but also a personal one: a process of reclaiming an identity alienated by Moscow-centrism and russification.
