Creative Action Coalition is looking for artwork expressing the soul of the colonized, the oppressed, and the displaced. Response to oppression can take on many forms, sometimes all at once: pain, anger, despair, feelings of alienation, and internalization of colonial prejudice. Recognizing this phenomenon can lead to positive expressions such as empowerment, seeking accountability, and hopeful visions of the future.
Whether performance art, paintings, photography, sculpture, animation, moving image, poetry/spoken word, sound art, or any digital work, we invite you to share your feelings through your art. All mediums are welcome.
About Us
Creative Action Coalition is dedicated to building international solidarities for global resistance to systemic oppressions through art projects, exhibitions and events.

Collage Artist Residencies: Scotland
Kolaj Institute is partnering with A’ the Airts and the Nithsdale Hotel in Sanquhar, Scotland to offer week-long residencies for collage artists in Spring and Fall 2024. Collage Artist Residency: Scotland is a week-long artist residency designed for artists working in collage who seek to make art in community with other artists. The residency will unfold over the course of a week. As part of Kolaj Institute’s year long exploration of Castles as Buildings, Metaphors, and Systems of Power, while in Scotland, we will consider the castles of Sanquhar, Drumlanrig, and Morton; their history, folklore, and evolution. Residencies are intended for self-motivated collage artists, regardless of the stage in their career, who want to develop their practice, collaborate with others and who want to develop a practice of working with place, historic sites or history associations to create and present art that speaks to a general community about contemporary issues. Read the full call to artists on the website.

CALL FOR ARTISTS: CRIP’D ECOLOGIES: UNFURLING EXPANDED ENVIRONMENTS
Root Division invites Disabled* artists working in all media to submit work for Crip’d Ecologies: Unfurling Expanded Environments, co-curated by moira williams and Jeremiah Barber, to be presented at Root Division in February 2024.
The exhibition will feature Disabled artists addressing ecosystems that are personal, shared, imagined, and invites artists across disabilities to consider the following curatorial question: How can we bring dynamic Crip strategies into landscapes, ecosystems, and bodies impacted by climate change to support practices of becoming, grief, abundance, and multispecies relationships instead of scarcity?
How does Disability Justice and Environmental Justice intertwine? How can Environmental Justice movements become inclusive? How can we expand ideas of “environment” beyond binaries of urbanism and ableism? How do Disabled artists or communities address overlapping crises of racial inequity, housing, health, and environmental destruction? How can eco art open into a more complex reflection of our fear, anger, and desire? How can our movements to dismantle white supremacy, anti-Blackness, and colonialism truly happen when Disability Arts are underrepresented and under-valued?
Crip’d Ecologies invites submissions from people across disabilities to apply. Root Division encourages submissions from artists from diverse communities and cultural backgrounds including Black, Indigenous, POC & LGBTQQIP2SAA+. Submissions can include art in any media including sound, video, participation/participatory (sensorial and on-line), and text among others. Artists are encouraged to prioritize accessibility in their submission. These include: accessible sightlines, Image Descriptions, ASL translation of public text, Audio Descriptions, captioning, and more.
Confirmed artists include: Sharmi Basu, Vanessa Cruz, Octavia Rose Hingle, Bonnie Lewkowicz and Judith Smith, Tricia Rainwater, Jaklin Romine, Ruth Tabancay, Sunaura Taylor, and Anuj Vaidya.
Alongside the exhibition, Crip’d Ecologies: Unfurling Expanded Environments will also host a two day convening and offer hybrid, online and in person, programming.
*Disabled includes but is not limited to; Blind, Low Sighted, d/DEAF, HOH, ILL, Chronically ILL, MAD, FAT, Neurodivergent.
