THE PROJECT
THE PROJECT
DO YOU HAVE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ON THE TOPIC OF IMMIGRATION?
PERHAPS YOU HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH IMMIGRATION?
DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRANSLATE THOSE EXPERIENCES AND EMOTIONS INTO VISUAL MEDIA?
PERHAPS YOU HAVE GREAT WRITTEN STORYTELLING ABILITIES?
Visions of Immigration: Sculpting the Mosaic focuses on exploring the topic of immigration and allows artists to creatively explore their thoughts, experiences, and storytelling abilities on its subject, creating a unique sensory environment.
The title takes inspiration from former US President Jimmy Carter’s 1976 speech lamenting that: 'we have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams’.
Consequently, this project aims to cultivate the real and imaginative experiences of migrants and strike important discussions on the topic at a time when significant immigration policies such as the Rwandan asylum policy take place within the United Kingdom.
THE APPLICATION
Want to get involved with this exciting opportunity to share your work with an audience?
This project is proudly sponsored by Pacific Legal Training - a leading immigration training company - and will take place at a venue in Manchester in August 2022. It invites artists of all ages, mediums, and artistic experience to apply to present work where the exhibition's aim is to use art to stimulate conversations about the important topic of immigration.
There is no restrictions as to the type of creative work exhibited meaning entries of film, short stories, paintings, dance and more are all welcome and will be carefully considered.
