Call for Entries
ISTORIA: Exploration in Contemporary Narrative
DEADLINE: June 1, 2011 - ISTORIA: Exploration in Contemporary Narrative is an international call for image-based work that focuses on contemporary narrative photography.
We are looking for image-based work from international artists who focus on narrative photography. This exhibition will run in September 2011 in conjunction with FotoSeptiembre and the Society for Photographic Education South Central Regional Conference. FotoSeptiembre USA is an international photography festival, which takes place September 1 - 30, every year, in San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country. The SPE South Central Regional Conference serves as a colloquium for presenting, analyzing, and discussing photography and related photographic media, and will be hosted by The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) at Satellite Space. ISTORIA: Exploration in Contemporary Narrative is an incredible opportunity for artists who interested in national exposure.
ELIGIBILITY
ISTORIA: Exploration in Contemporary Narrative is open to all artists from around the world who are over the age of 18. We are looking for all types of image-based work, including, but not limited to: traditional and alternative processes, photogravure, digital photography, video art, and still-image animation, anything that intersects with contemporary art and educational practices, and will engage the community in a conversation about the medium of photography.
JUDGES
Entries will be reviewed by the Photography MFA candidates at UTSA who are committed to creating an exhibition that will showcase the various styles of work while characterizing contemporary narrative photography. As narrative photography moves the image beyond a simple representation, the works will serve as interpretations of modern allegory while acting as vehicles for visual communication.
