Call for Art-WITHIN
Art Fluent invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our online exhibit, WITHIN.
THEME
WITHIN- A certain poetry exists within the moments of refuge, a confusing place where we have experienced absence in a whole new way. This profound moment in our lives has brought about a unique manner of living.
Security, intimacy, sanctuary, and the passage of time have all shifted to a deeper meaning. Beauty in the ordinary and intimate space that we have either accepted or resisted—but forced to surrender, nevertheless. Show us your sense WITHIN the quiet, WITHIN the asylum, WITHIN the retreat. Show us WITHIN from your perspective.

The Absurd
While the word is currently used to refer to a kind of dry, ironic situation, The Absurd has a rich philosophical tradition most closely associated with the writings of Albert Camus. What are we to do with the question of life’s meaning, especially in the face of its persistent unanswerability? Camus says that “one must imagine Sisyphus happy,” but this is no simple task. In modern times, it seems we can find countless echoes of the loop Sisyphus is stuck in, from the eternal scroll of social media to the endless stream of new variants and vaccines; how do you access the repetitions of our lives where meaning escapes our grasp, and The Absurd is all that remains?
The Art of Street Photography
Street photography is the most contentious genre of photography. The captured image presents us with a glimpse of the ordinary and achievements of everyday life. The narrative nevertheless seems to repeat itself, year after year. We challenge you to examine and redefine conventional street photography. Potential subjects include but are not limited to architecture, candid, documentary, fashion, photojournalism, portraiture, still life, and urbanism. How far are you willing to go to get your best shot?
