Free Open Call: GENERATIONS

Free Open Call: GENERATIONS / GENERAZIONI
Photography & Poetry

The cultural association dotART, together with the association AsSostegno and with historical resting home ITIS, is launching a new and free call for entries through the platform Exhibit Around for the photographic/literary project Generations / Generazioni.

The project Generations / Generazioni will focus on the elderly and will combine photography and poetry, with the aim to realize a photographic book and a collective exhibition during the seventh edition of Trieste Photo Days festival.

We are looking for:

• Photographers willing to submit single photos and/or projects/portfolios portraying the elderly and their everyday life in the city and at home;
• Poets willing to send “literary tweets” (poems of up to 140 characters) on the theme of the project.

Generations / Generazioni will talk about the Old Age in an innovative way, through the combination of photography and poetry. We would like to portray the elderly as the historical memory of society, as a heritage to appreciate, as means of culture, wisdom, traditions and values.

The best photos and poems, which will be respectively selected by dotART and AsSostegno, will become part of the multidisciplinary project, which will feature:

• A prestigious photographic book, published and promoted by dotART / Exhibit Around, which will alternate images and poems. The book will be officially presented during Trieste Photo Days 2020.
• A collective photographic exhibition displaying the best photos of the project, always accompanied by the prints of the best literary tweet. The exhibition will be held at ITIS, during the period of the festival (October-November 2020).

Each participant can submit only photos, only poems, or both photos and poems.

The call is open until May 17th, 2020 and it's completely free.
