Here is a call for submissions from The Fresh Milk Art Platform (Barbados) and the Centre for Culture in Lublin (Poland) for contemporary artists practicing in the Caribbean, Ukraine, Poland or their diasporas to be included in the fifth edition of Transoceanic Visual Exchange (TVE), a series of programs between these countries, with an accompanying online exhibition.
The Fresh Milk Art Platform (Barbados) and the Centre for Culture in Lublin (Poland)—as part of Lublin’s bid for the European Capital of Culture 2029 title—are pleased to welcome submissions of recent film and video works – screenings, installations, new media, time-based media and expanded cinema – by contemporary artists, to be included in the fifth edition of Transoceanic Visual Exchange (TVE), a series of programs taking place this year between Barbados and Poland, with an accompanying online exhibition. The deadline for submissions is June 30, 2024.
Submitted works must have been completed in the last five years and must be made by artists practicing in the Caribbean, Poland, Ukraine and their diasporas. TVE 5 will be a collection of recent artists’ films and videos from each region. However, the final shape and content of the program will be informed by a community curatorial process, which aims to involve and promote discussion within the wider creative communities of each participating initiative.
Working between the Caribbean, Poland and Ukraine, TVE 5 aims to negotiate the in-between space of our cultural communities outside of traditional geo-political zones of encounter and trade. TVE intends to build relations and open up greater pathways of visibility, discourse and knowledge production between the regional art spaces and their publics.
Submission Requirements:
- Must be work from artists practicing in the Caribbean, Ukraine, Poland or their diasporas.
- Must be work that has been completed/made in the last five years.
- Can be films of any length (shorts, experimental, features and video artworks).
- Can be in any language (films originally produced in regional languages are welcome).
- Up to 3 submissions per applicant are welcome.
- Must be accompanied by a description of the work (500 words max), a bio (200 words max) and details of any technical requirements i.e. audio, installation, equipment required, preferred setting etc.
- Works must be mp4 files no larger than 100MB, or Vimeo/Youtube links with passwords if applicable.
- Works must not have been submitted to the previous edition of TVE.
- Please specify whether your submitted works have permission to be exhibited on an online space.
