Call for Exhibition │Free entry

Group Exhibition in Rome. December 2023
–
We have almost lost the habit of sending postcards to our family and friends when we are on holidays. Postcards are not only nice pictures of a touristic place, they also represent social, architectural and economic changes through time, years, and decades. Portraying a precise place in a specific time means giving a unique interpretation of what is shown in that picture. This call would like to reflect and select photographic works somehow working with the concept of the postcard – they can include postcards, can be archive-based research, remake postcards with a modern touch.. .

Call For Entries: The Absurd
“If the world were clear, art would not exist.” – Albert Camus. While the term commonly refers to a kind of dry, ironic situation, The Absurd has a rich philosophical tradition most closely associated with the writings of Albert Camus. In his essay The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus says, “One must imagine Sisyphus happy,” but this is an impossible task. In the eternal cycle of war, pestilence, and death, how do you find purpose and escape the repetitions of reality where meaning escapes our grasp? What are we to do with the question of life, particularly in the face of its endless unanswerability? How does one embrace The Absurd?
The Absurd is an international juried group exhibition open to photographers ages 18 years and older. All black and white, color, conventional, non-traditional photographic, and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
