Gender Studies Symposium: Call for Art! |
Dear students and community members,
WE NEED YOUR ART!
You may have heard about the upcoming Gender Studies Symposium in March 2022: Fantasy. This year’s theme invites us to examine how gender and sexuality affect dynamics of fantasy, exploring transformative questions of intimacy, pleasure, and politics.
This is where you come in! One important part of the symposium each year is an art exhibit composed of pieces from community members and students like you. We encourage submissions engaging with topics of gender and sexuality, with special consideration for work related to this year’s theme of fantasy.
The exhibit will include a physical and virtual gallery, and we invite film and video submissions as well as 2D and 3D works. Since there is a virtual component of the exhibit, we suggest taking detailed and high resolution photographs of your work. The deadline for art submissions is Thursday, February 10 by 11 pm.
Anyone and everyone is encouraged to submit their work! Please help spread the word to your friends, peers, and other members of the community who may be interested, and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. For more information, visit the symposium website.
We look forward to seeing your art!
Sincerely,
2022 Gender Studies Symposium Art Curators
Mei Bailey, Lili Kunimoto, Eve March, and Ann Niemann
