About
↓
Photography award titled The 9th International Photography festival Organ Vida recently announced by Photography Association Organ Vida, a leading Croatian institution for promoting and researching contemporary photography practices on the international scene since its foundation in 2008.
Photography Association Organ Vida is a volunteer led non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting internationally contemporary photography, emerging and established photographers, and to creating platforms for knowledge exchange, education and for showcasing works of young contemporary photographers.
The theme of this year competition is "New Citizens".
In this instalment of the festival, following on from examining Revelations, they are concerned with expanded and creative thinking around notions of "New Citizen". They ask: who are we as humans? How did we come to be this way, where are we headed? What does it mean to be participant of an utterly computerised 21st Century that pulls us ever closer together, yet paradoxically, even further apart? In this era, our collective knowledge is richer than it ever was, yet we’ve lost sight of ourselves.
Are we traversing an ocean of possibility while sinking under our own weight? In a world where the borders of real and imagined are incessantly blurring yet sharper than ever defined, is the very concept of belonging itself drifting away from the physical realm into another?
They are calling for the artist-communicator equipped with the power of language to show them a voice of dissent, challenging and foraging against the very things that are made by systems in power to keep us divided.
They ask for your views of a New Citizen that far extend the conventional understandings of its ‘origin-definition’ which is confined to state and city and town; they ask you to think citizen as a anywhere-human, beyond entitlement, nationality or allegiance to government.
Show your counter-language; a new way of navigating what it means to be alive and to live in a (post)capitalist, climate-changed 21st Century world. Whatever your photographic approach may be, show new dialogues and new imaginaries.
All shortlisted entrants will be notified by email in early May 2017.
The submission fee is 30 Euro/200 Croatian Kuna.
