At Photo Opp, we celebrate photography as a medium without limits. ALT explores what happens when artists step outside the expected and redefine what a photograph can be. This exhibition embraces alternative creations in every sense; from cyanotypes and salt prints to film soup, unconventional printing surfaces, digital manipulation, sculptural photography, emulsion lifting, collage, and beyond. If it challenges convention, questions process, or expands the definition of photography, it belongs here. “Alternative” isn’t just about technique, it’s about mindset. It’s about curiosity over perfection. Process over predictability. Risk over routine. ALT may reference photography’s earliest methods; others may push the medium into entirely new territory. What unites them is a willingness to experiment; to blur boundaries between analog and digital, object and image, photograph and artifact. This exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the photograph not just as a captured moment, but as a constructed, transformed, and reimagined experience. Anyone can enter up to three pieces, and there is no submission fee.

Open Call Opportunity Description International Deadline: August 10, 2026 – Projet Betula announces an Open Call for Deafening Silence, the second chapter in a screening cycle that began with Speak Volumes in September 2025. While the first chapter considered the persistence of voices within haunted landscapes, family archives, and spectral bodies, the current chapter shifts attention to what remains unsaid or unspoken. We invite artists and filmmakers working with experimental film, video, and moving-image forms, whose work engages with silence as a condition shaped by power, catastrophe, refusal, or survival. Event date: September 16, 2026 @ Césure, Paris. We are interested in three interconnected forms of deafening silence: 1. Enforced Silence Silence imposed through force: colonial or state violence, displacement, imprisonment, border controls, economic deprivation, or bureaucratic erasure. It happens when people are denied the chance to speak, talk about what they have lived through, and be recognised. 2. After the Explosion The silence that follows a catastrophe: war, forced migration, environmental destruction, the collapse of infrastructure, or the breakdown of a familiar social world. It can be felt as shock, exhaustion, disorientation, or the sense that language is no longer enough to describe what happened. 3. Silence as Survival This form of silence is connected to the right not to be fully understood, explained, or exposed to others. Silence can protect personal boundaries and keep parts of one’s experience private. It can also be a deliberate choice not to speak — a form of protection and a strategy for survival. ELIGIBILITY We invite artists and filmmakers working with experimental film, video, and moving-image forms, whose work engages with silence as a condition shaped by power, catastrophe, refusal, or survival. APPLY ONLINE – No Fee About: Projet Betula is an independent, non-profit platform supporting international contemporary art focused on migration, nomadism, and resilience. We provide a space for artists uprooted by war, displacement, or forced relocation to share their stories and engage in global conversations. Through exhibitions and collaborations, we highlight the struggles and strength of those adapting to new, often hostile environments. About: Césure is a multidisciplinary cultural and community space located on the former Censier campus of Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris. Developed as a temporary urban project, it brings together artists, cultural organisations, social initiatives, students, and independent professionals within a shared environment dedicated to knowledge exchange, experimentation, and collective learning.

Its classrooms, libraries, courtyards, and communal areas have been transformed into studios, offices, exhibition spaces, and meeting places — making the former university campus an open and evolving site for culture, education, and social engagemen

Sankofa Art Residency

Sankofa: Hybrid Art Residency Deadline: 11 Aug 2026 Country: United States The Sankofa Art Residency is a 6‑week hybrid creative incubator for artists seeking renewal, cultural grounding, and transformative community. Rooted in the West African principle of Sankofa—the practice of returning to the past to reclaim what was forgotten—the residency invites artists to explore personal and ancestral narratives while developing new work within a supportive global cohort. Over the first five weeks, participants engage in virtual workshops, cohort circles, artist talks, and interdisciplinary studio prompts that nurture reflection, experimentation, and embodied creative practice. The sixth week culminates in an in‑person overnight graduation ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, where artists gather to honor their growth, share work, and participate in communal ritual. The residency is free to apply, and accepted artists pay a $550 fee that covers the full program, all ceremony materials, and round‑trip transportation from the Atlanta airport to the accommodations. Open to artists worldwide and across all disciplines, Sankofa welcomes emerging, mid‑career, and returning artists without academic prerequisites, offering a space where cultural memory, creative rebirth, healing‑centered arts, and global artistic exchange come together to support meaningful artistic evolution. Duration of residency The Sankofa Art Residency is a 6‑week hybrid program. Artists participate in: 5 weeks of virtual programming, including weekly workshops, artist circles, creative prompts, and professional development sessions hosted on Microsoft Teams. 1 in‑person overnight graduation ceremony during Week 6 in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), where the cohort gathers for communal reflection, ritual, and celebration. The virtual portion is designed to support artists working from their own studios, while the in‑person gathering provides a grounding, restorative close to the residency experience. Accommodation The Sankofa Residency culminates in an overnight, in‑person graduation ceremony held at a private location in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) exclusively for the cohort. While the 5‑week virtual portion is completed from each artist’s home studio, the final in‑person gathering provides a restorative, communal environment designed for reflection, celebration, and creative closure.Artists stay in shared accommodations arranged by the residency for the duration of the overnight ceremony. The space is intentionally intimate to support connection, ritual, and cohort bonding. All participants receive: Round‑trip transportation from Hartsfield‑Jackson Atlanta International Airport to the accommodations Shared lodging for the overnight ceremony Communal meals prepared for the cohort Ceremonial gifts honoring each artist’s creative journey Access to all closing rituals, workshops, and celebration activities The accommodation and ceremony space are reserved exclusively for Sankofa participants, ensuring privacy, safety, and a deeply immersive experience. The environment is designed to feel like a creative retreat, offering artists a moment of grounding and collective transformation before returning to their individual practices. Disciplines, work equipment and assistance The Sankofa Art Residency welcomes artists working across a wide spectrum of creative disciplines, encouraging experimentation, cultural storytelling, and interdisciplinary practice. Artists may come from visual arts, digital media, photography, film, writing, performance, sound, craft, textile arts, social practice, or hybrid forms, and all are invited to explore new ways of making through Sankofa’s thematic lens of memory, transformation, and embodied creativity. Because the residency is primarily virtual, participants create from their own home studios during the five‑week online phase, while Sankofa ensures that everyone has the tools needed to participate fully. Each artist receives a curated set of required materials—guided worksheets, ritual‑based reflection tools, journaling prompts, mixed‑media starter items, digital templates, and ceremony‑related materials—mailed or delivered digitally depending on their medium. These resources, included in the residency fee, are designed to spark intuitive creation and support the program’s thematic explorations. Artists may supplement with their own preferred tools, though nothing beyond a reliable internet connection and a computer or tablet is required. Throughout the virtual phase, Microsoft Teams serves as the residency’s digital studio, offering a shared cohort workspace, channels for works‑in‑progress, access to session recordings, and a supportive environment for peer feedback and community connection across time zones. During Week 6, the cohort gathers in Atlanta for an overnight graduation ceremony held in a private retreat‑style space dedicated to ritual, reflection, group sharing, documentation, and communal creative activities. Sankofa provides consistent guidance and support through weekly facilitated workshops, thematic prompts, artist circles, guest talks, creative business development sessions, and staff assistance for technical or scheduling needs. Letters of support are also available for artists seeking external funding. The residency is intentionally accessible, nurturing, and community‑centered, offering a space where artists can experiment, reconnect with cultural roots, and grow creatively within a global cohort.Studio / Workspace The Sankofa Residency is structured as a hybrid creative incubator that allows artists to work from the comfort and intimacy of their own personal studios while remaining deeply connected to a structured, global cohort. Throughout the five‑week virtual phase, artists create from their home workspaces as they develop new projects, respond to weekly prompts, and engage in guided creative practices that support both experimentation and reflection. This model honors the rhythms of each artist’s personal environment while still offering the accountability, mentorship, and communal energy of a shared residency experience. All virtual programming takes place on Microsoft Teams, which serves as the residency’s central creative hub. Within this digital studio, artists participate in weekly live sessions—including workshops, critiques, artist circles, guest talks, and creative business development—while also accessing shared workspaces for posting works‑in‑progress, exchanging feedback, and collaborating across time zones through both synchronous and asynchronous engagement. The sixth week brings the cohort together in Atlanta for an in‑person overnight graduation ceremony held in a private, retreat‑style space reserved exclusively for residents. Although not a traditional studio, this environment functions as a communal creative container where artists engage in reflective practices, ritual‑based creative exercises, group sharing, ceremony preparation, and documentation of their works‑in‑progress. Designed to be intimate and restorative, the in‑person gathering supports closure, integration, and celebration of the work cultivated during the virtual phase, offering a meaningful transition from individual creation to collective witnessing.Fees and support The Sankofa Art Residency is committed to remaining accessible and transparent in its financial structure. There is no application fee, and artists may apply from anywhere in the world at no cost. Accepted artists pay a flat residency fee of $550, which covers the full 6‑week hybrid program, including all virtual workshops, artist circles, professional development sessions, and access to the Microsoft Teams creative hub. The fee also includes the in‑person overnight graduation ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, along with round‑trip transportation between Hartsfield‑Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the accommodations, communal meals, and ceremonial gifts prepared for each participant. Sankofa provides all required creative materials for the residency, ensuring that artists can fully engage with the thematic explorations and ritual‑based practices without needing to purchase additional supplies. While the residency does not currently offer internal scholarships, we provide letters of support, guidance on external micro‑grants, and flexible payment options to help artists secure outside funding if needed. The program is intentionally designed to be high‑impact and low‑barrier, supporting artists from diverse backgrounds in accessing a transformative creative experience. Expectations towards the artist The Sankofa Art Residency invites artists into a supportive, exploratory, and low‑pressure creative environment rooted in the values of play, experimentation, and intuitive creation. Artists are encouraged to attend the weekly virtual sessions on Microsoft Teams, participate in cohort discussions and reflective practices, and engage with creative prompts that inspire curiosity and risk‑taking. Throughout the program, artists are invited to share works‑in‑progress in a spirit of openness and exploration, maintaining a generous and collaborative mindset as they experiment with new materials, ideas, or processes. There is no requirement to complete a finished artwork during the residency; participants may develop new work or continue ongoing projects at their own pace.All artists are also invited to contribute one work or work‑in‑progress created during the residency to a dedicated exhibition in the Sankofa Virtual Gallery. This exhibition serves as a living archive of the cohort’s creative journey, a global showcase of the residency’s impact, and a portfolio‑building opportunity for participating artists. While participation in the virtual exhibition is strongly encouraged, artists have full freedom in choosing the form, medium, and level of completion of the work they submit, with an emphasis on authenticity and creative evolution rather than perfection.Public engagement is optional within the residency. Artists may choose to participate in an optional virtual artist talk, share works‑in‑progress during cohort sessions, or offer a creative reflection during the closing ceremony. These opportunities are intentionally gentle and non‑performative, allowing artists to share only what feels aligned with their process.Artists are expected to attend the in‑person overnight graduation ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, which includes a private cohort circle, communal meals, and a closing celebration honoring each artist’s journey. This gathering is considered a core component of the residency experience and serves as the ceremonial culmination of the six‑week program.    Application information Artists can apply to the Sankofa Art Residency through our online application form:Application Link: https://forms.gle/uNVEYSr2DttpA1mC9 Follow for updates: Residency Instagram: @WLF.SAR Nonprofit Instagram: @WLF.LTD There is no application fee, and artists from all disciplines and locations are welcome to apply.

The K3 Residency Programme provides artists with sustained time to research, develop, and produce a substantial new work while participating in an active artistic community. The programme supports independent choreographers who are ready to expand their practice within an international context and offers the organisational infrastructure necessary to move a project from initial research to public presentation over an extended development period.

Artworks can be selected before the deadline. Please note that the decisions are final, and we are unable to offer feedback. SALES Only artists present at the Private View/Opening event in Brazil can have their artworks up for sale. As a cultural centre, our role differs from that of a commercial gallery; hence, we abstain from participating in the sales process between artists and collectors. Should a collector express interest in a piece, the artist will be directly connected to them by the curator, facilitating independent negotiations without any commission from us. Being artists, we recognise the value of establishing direct connections between artists and collectors.  ABOUT US We are an artist-led, self-funded, and independent cultural centre located in the prestigious Vila Mariana neighbourhood of Sao Paulo, Brazil. We work tirelessly to create opportunities for artists from around the world. Since our first exhibition in 2019, we have proudly showcased the works of over 800 artists from more than 78 countries.  We believe in fostering artistic diversity and providing a platform for emerging and established artists to express their creativity.  Join us on our journey as we continue to celebrate art in all its forms and connect global artistic communities.

We have been applying for funding and hopefully, in the near future, we can lower the participation fee. Until then, we just need to keep the lights on. The files must be cropped 30 x 40 cm (11.81 x 15.75 inches) or square size 30 x 30 cm (11.81 x 11.81 inches) and sent via email when requested. There will be a picture of every individual work on the wall and pictures of people visiting the exhibition. Also, there will be an Artfacts listing. So, there will be plenty of documentation of your participation. Only artists residing in São Paulo, Brazil, are eligible to exhibit their original artworks. They must personally deliver their artwork to the gallery one week prior to the start of the exhibition and sign a consignment agreement. Furthermore, they must arrange for the collection of their artwork at the conclusion of the exhibition. Some future exhibitions will be only for artists that we have already worked with and their prints are in our storage. If the artist prefers not to keep it in our storage, we can destroy it. We tried that in the past and it didn't work out. International postal service from Brazil to overseas is expensive (around £50) and unreliable. It tracks only inside the country. So we are not offering that option anymore. If you would like to have a fine art print of your work, we recommend The Printspace in London. They have good prices, and they ship internationally. The artworks are allocated based on style, orientation, technical specifications, colours, etc. The curator carefully plans the placement of each work to ensure consistency throughout the show. Please note that the decisions are final and not open for discussion. As a cultural centre, our role differs from that of a commercial gallery; hence, we abstain from participating in the sales process between artists and collectors.

Cista Arts

Acts of Address: Gesture, Image and the World We Speak To Report this? Deadline: 13/08/2026 Region: London | Country: United Kingdom | Cista Arts CISTA ARTS invites artists to submit work for Acts of Address, an online exhibition taking place in September 2026. We welcome submissions from artists working across all visual art disciplines. More details Acts of Address: Gesture, Image and the World We Speak To Deadline: 13/08/2026Region: London | Country: United Kingdom | Cista Arts CISTA ARTS invites artists to submit work for Acts of Address, an online exhibition taking place in September 2026. We welcome submissions from artists working across all visual art disciplines. Acts of Address: Gesture, Image and the World We Speak To Exibition Theme: Every artwork addresses someone or something. It may speak directly, remain quiet, offer a sign, hold a trace, make a demand, open a conversation, or create a space for recognition. A work may address a viewer, a loved one, a stranger, a community, a place, an archive, an absent body, a political condition, a private memory, or an imagined future. Acts of Address invites artists to consider how images, objects, gestures and materials communicate. The exhibition looks at the ways artworks reach beyond themselves: through language, silence, touch, movement, symbolism, protest, ritual, correspondence, refusal, care, intimacy, distance, public voice or quiet presence. This theme is deliberately open and welcomes a wide range of approaches. Artists may respond through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, collage, textiles, digital work, moving image, sound, performance documentation, text-based work, mixed media or interdisciplinary practice. Submissions may be figurative or abstract, personal or collective, direct or ambiguous. At a time when communication is often fragmented, accelerated or mediated through screens, Acts of Address asks what it means to reach another person, to be heard, to remain silent, to translate experience, or to hold space for what cannot be easily said. The exhibition is interested in works that explore how meaning is formed between the artwork and its audience, between private experience and public expression, and between the visible and the unspoken. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly. Works may explore the body as a site of gesture, the image as a form of communication, the material object as a carrier of memory, or the artwork as an invitation, message, question, encounter or act of witness. Acts of Address seeks to bring together works that consider how art can speak across distance, difference and uncertainty, while opening new ways of seeing, listening and responding. Dates: Submission Deadline: 13 August 2026 Exhibition Dates: 1- 30 September 2026 Submission Guidelines: We are keen to learn about you! Please submit the following: - Contact information (full name, email, mobile) - Details of the artworks (title, size, medium, year, price) - Artist statement (max 100 words on how your work relates to the theme) - Short biography (max 100 words, third-person) - Up to 4 sample images of your work Please note: Only two artworks per artist will be selected for exhibition. Selected Participants Will Receive: - Exhibition of your work on the CISTA ARTS online platform (1-30 September 2026) - Inclusion in a limited edition, professionally produced paperback catalogue (UK-based) + complimentary PDF copy - No commission taken on sales - Daily social media features in our Meet the Artist series - Exhibition placement on our homepage + archived access after close - Direct links to your website or social media in all features - Certificate of participation Participation Fee:  £30 for one accepted artwork | £50 for two accepted artworks Applying to this exhibition opportunity is free. Participation Fee Benefits: Selected artists will have their work exhibited online for the full month on our homepage, included in a professionally produced printed and digital exhibition catalogue, featured in daily social media promotion under our ‘Meet the Artist’ series, and receive a certificate of participation.  CISTA ARTS takes no commission on sales. Digital Exposure and Reach: - We currently have over 12.1K followers on Instagram, in addition to a Facebook audience and a mailing list of over 2K subscribers. - Our online exhibitions attract between 1,200–1,800 unique visitors, and our website receives more than 4,000 visits per month. - Each participating artist will be permanently featured on our Past Exhibitions page, with direct links to their own website or social media for continued exposure. Exhibition Access: The exhibition is fully accessible to the public via our official website, with no login or fee required. Exhibition History: Since our founding in 2018, CISTA ARTS has organised over 50 solo and group exhibitions, both online and in hybrid formats.  Our platform is designed to support emerging and mid-career artists across borders, particularly those facing visa and mobility restrictions. Artist Feedback: We have received consistently positive reviews from artists who have worked with us, with many praising our professionalism, communication, and the quality of our exhibitions.  These testimonials can be viewed on our Google Reviews page.

The space was a little rough around the edges, but the artworks breathed new life into it and gave it soul. This exhibition proved to be a fantastic launch pad for Exhibit Here and the beginning of what was set to become an exciting journey. Fast forward twelve years and twenty-one exhibitions later, Exhibit Here has become a leading arts organisation in London, which prides itself on providing the best exhibition opportunities for artists and visitors alike. Having proudly curated multiple large-scale exhibitions at venues such as the Menier Gallery, La Galleria Pall Mall and Bargehouse Oxo Tower Wharf, we continue to grow, and to mark this, have launched Exhibit Here’s Art Now Fair at Unit/08 Copeland Park, Peckham, which is set to return in September 2026. Meet the Founder Leila Bibizadeh FOUNDER, DIRECTOR AND CURATOR Leila Bibizadeh is of dual heritage, English and Iranian. She graduated from the University of East London with a degree in Fine Art in 2008. Prior to founding Exhibit Here she exhibited her work extensively across the UK, including at the Saatchi Gallery, Mall Galleries, Bankside Gallery, O2 Arena and Oxford Street’s John Lewis.  Leila specialises in wildlife painting and enjoys photographing nature, specifically in Florida. As an artist and an entrepreneur, she is a firm believer in creating your own opportunities as she understands how difficult it can be to fight to have your work seen in the competitive world of art, which spurred her to set up Exhibit Here. She has a deep understanding of all forms of art, and she is passionate about showcasing the work of other artists and watching them shine. As the art world continues to evolve and art fairs become increasingly popular ways to exhibit and appreciate art, her ultimate goal was to create an art fair for Exhibit Here. She is immensely proud to have achieved this in 2025 and is excited for their future events. Why exhibit with us Bringing art and people together is at the heart of what we do. It is our passion to provide a stage for your work to shine that opens doors, leads more people to discover your art and creates lasting connections. We warmly invite you to join our growing community of friendly artists and to be wowed by our meticulously organised events that are loved by exhibitors and visitors alike.

Ohio Percent for Art/Cincinnati State - Main Building Renovation Artwork Commission RFQ Entry Deadline: Aug 14, 2026, 11:59:00 PM Eligibility: Regional Entry Fee: Free to Enter Ohio Ohio Percent for Art/Cincinnati State Main Building Artwork Commission RFQ … Open To: Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana artists                                                                                                          Commission Amount: $116,000 Entry Open Date: Monday, June 29, 2026 Entry Deadline: Friday, August 14, 2026 Project Summary: Cincinnati State (CS) is inviting Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana artists to submit up to nine (9) digital images of past work, an artist statement, and a cv/resume, for the Cincinnati State Main Building Percent for Art Project commission. From the submissions, a group of semi-finalists will be selected to visit the campus, meet with the committee (comprised of CS faculty and staff), and visit the artwork site location(s) to create a site-specific artwork proposal. CS employees and their spouses are not eligible to apply for this commission. Students enrolled in any degree or certificate-granting program are not eligible to apply. Project Background and Building History: Cincinnati State is currently executing a phased, multimillion-dollar renovation of its 74-year-old Main Building at the Clifton campus. The project includes a $3 million upgrade to the Advanced Manufacturing training wing and engineering labs, as well as a new Student Success Center and a reimagined, fully accessible "Main Street" entryway.   Cincinnati State's Main Building, located at 3250 Central Parkway in the Clifton neighborhood, was originally constructed in the early 1950's to serve as Central High School. It later operated as Courter Technical High School before becoming the foundational home for Cincinnati State in 1969. As part of the renovation the lockers have been removed to say farewell to the "high school" feeling of the building. This allows for ample room for the inclusion of commissioned artwork. Mission of School or Site:   Cincinnati State's Mission is to provide access, opportunity, and support in achieving success for individuals seeking exceptional technical, transfer, and experiential/cooperative education and workforce training. Cincinnati State's Vision is to advance the educational and economic vitality of our state and region as the college of choice. The Values of Cincinnati State: - Potential for Growth and Success – We respect each student’s background and celebrate their potential for personal growth and career success. - Access – We foster a college environment where all individuals have access to the resources and support needed to succeed. - Experiential Learning – we prioritize work-based learning through cooperative education, clinicals, internships, and other applied learning experiences that prepare students for great careers. - Belonging – We strive to welcome and respect every individual. - Collaboration – We work together on behalf of our students and employers to meet community needs. - Innovation – We support innovative approaches to learning. We anticipate and effectively respond to the changing needs of those we serve. Artistic Goals of the Commissioned Piece: The primary objective is to create a large-scale public artwork that transforms selected hallway wall panels in Cincinnati State's Main Building into an engaging visual experience that reflects the College's mission and impact. The artwork should communicate themes of growth, discovery, transformation, opportunity, innovation, and career development while creating a more contemporary, vibrant, and forward-looking environment. The project should help visitors, students, employees, and community members better understand Cincinnati State as a place where people develop skills, discover opportunities, and launch successful careers. Viewers of the commissioned work should feel inspired, optimistic, energized, and welcomed. The artwork should evoke a sense of possibility, progress, and momentum while reflecting the creativity and innovation that define Cincinnati State. The work should feel dynamic, engaging, contemporary, vibrant, fluid, inclusive, and forward-looking. The artwork should leave viewers with a sense that Cincinnati State is a place of transformation, hands-on learning, and opportunity. Key concepts to be included in commissioned work are: - Growth, evolution, transformation, and forward movement - Student success, career development, and upward mobility - Innovation, technology, and future-focused thinking - Hands-on experiential learning and the practical application of knowledge Practical Considerations: Artwork considered for the CS Main Building project must be durable and suitably maintenance-free, and withstand high-traffic environments. Required and preferred design considerations include: - contemporary, visually engaging design with strong storytelling - dynamic compositions and layered imagery - potential use of mixed media, texture, and fabricated elements - representation of growth, transformation, innovation, and hands-on learning - meaningful and connected to Cincinnati State's mission and identity - human-created, original artwork Commissioned artwork should: - avoid overly abstracted artwork - generic imagery that could belong anywhere - avoid excessive use of Cincinnati State Green - not be purely decorative - be without need of excessive maintenance An image of one of the artwork site locations is above. More will be shared with semi-finalists at the site visit.    Selection Review Process: Interested artists should complete the online form by visiting: https://ohiopercentforart-cinc...

Selec WHAT STILL GROWS｜London Group Exhibition Open Call Deadline: 14/08/2026City: London | Region: London | Country: United Kingdom | Sensaflare Sensaflare invites UK-based artists to apply for What Still Grows, a research-led group exhibition at Lewisham Arthouse, London, taking place from 17–28 September 2026. The exhibition explores plants as carriers of embodied, local and intergenerational knowledge, considering how practices of care might reconnect body, land and community after exhaustion. All media are welcome, provided plants are integral to the work as subject, material, knowledge system, relational presence or method. Selected artists will exhibit in a public-facing, artist-led gallery and contribute to London’s independent art scene. WHAT STILL GROWS Bodies, Plants and Practices of Care Group Exhibition Open Call Sensaflare invites artists to submit completed works for What Still Grows, a group exhibition exploring the relationships between bodies, plants and practices of care. About the Exhibition What Still Grows will take place at Lewisham Arthouse in Deptford, South East London. Lewisham Arthouse is a not-for-profit, artist-led arts organisation founded in 1992 and supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Its Project Space is a public-facing gallery supporting contemporary exhibitions, experimental projects, workshops and public programmes. The exhibition will be developed as a research-led curatorial project in which plants, space and sensory traces form a shared environment. Different bodies, memories and traditions of care will be brought into proximity, allowing overlooked forms of embodied and situated knowledge to surface and continue circulating. Installation: 16–17 September 2026 Private View: 17 September 2026, 18:00–21:00 Exhibition: 17–28 September 2026 De-installation and collection: 29 September 2026 Exhibition Concept The exhaustion of contemporary bodies arises from the relentless extraction of life’s rhythms in the name of efficiency and standardisation. Under the same logic, forms of plant knowledge grounded in touch, care and intergenerational transmission have been marginalised because they resist quantification, verification and archival capture. Bodily depletion and the silencing of knowledge are, in this sense, two effects of the same structure. The exhibition approaches plant-centred practices as ways of knowing through which this structure might be questioned. Here, plants are no longer treated merely as images of nature. They carry forms of knowledge that differ from modern systems of classification, standardisation and extraction—knowledge recognised through sensory experience and situated judgement, and passed on through families, communities, local memories and relations of care. Plants, space and sensory traces converge, inviting visitors to step temporarily outside accelerated time. The exhibition space operates as a metabolic system, bringing different bodies, memories and traditions of care into proximity. In doing so, it seeks to reactivate suppressed modes of perception, allowing embodied knowledge and situated experience to surface and continue circulating. What do our bodies remember? What continues to grow? The exhibition ultimately turns towards a question of repair: after exhaustion and injury, can these obscured forms of knowledge continue to grow? Through shared practices of care, might we begin to reweave the relationships between body, land and community? Who We Are Looking For We welcome completed works across all artistic media and forms. Submitted works may respond to one or more of the following areas: 1. Plant Rhythms and the Body Works exploring plant processes—including growth, dormancy, metabolism, decay and regeneration—in relation to human productivity, bodily exhaustion, recovery and alternative rhythms of life. 2. Plant-Borne Knowledge Works engaging with local, Indigenous, diasporic, minoritised or culturally specific forms of plant knowledge, and considering how such knowledge is preserved, transmitted, marginalised or reactivated. 3. Plants and Practices of Care Works exploring relationships between plants and collective care, healing practices, identity, migration, memory, belonging and community. 4. Classification and Extraction Works addressing botanical archives, colonial collecting practices, medical standardisation, ecological extraction and the politics of which forms of knowledge are recognised, documented or preserved. Please Note: Plants must play an integral and irreplaceable role within the work—as a central subject, material, carrier of knowledge, relational presence, or creative method—rather than serving solely as visual imagery or decoration. We particularly welcome practices informed by local knowledge, cross-cultural perspectives, personal experience, family histories, or community-based traditions. Artists whose practices involve sound, performance, participatory projects, workshops, collective growing or knowledge-sharing are also encouraged to apply. During the exhibition, we intend to connect with local organisations working across community growing, horticulture and ecological practice. Who Can Apply The open call is available to artists currently based in the UK. We welcome applications from emerging and early-career artists, as well as practitioners whose work meaningfully responds to the exhibition framework. Applicants should only propose work that will be available for the full exhibition period and that can be transported, installed and removed within the designated dates. About the Organisers Sensaflare is a London-based, research-led independent curatorial collective. Our practice focuses on narrative-driven exhibition-making, sensory and spatial approaches, embodied knowledge, informal forms of care and the relationship between contemporary artistic practice and public engagement. We develop exhibitions through dialogue between artworks, sites, artists and wider social contexts, with a particular commitment to supporting emerging artistic practices. Artist Support Selected artists will receive: - an official participating artist announcement - promotion through Sensaflare’s official social media channels (Instagram followers: 648, Rednote followers: 229) - a dedicated artist interview or feature - exhibition coverage across Lewisham Arthouse and Sensaflare’s websites and social media platforms - professional exhibition photography - an official certificate of participation - participation in a research-led group exhibition within London’s independent art scene - Selected artists may also be invited to contribute to workshops, talks, performances or other public programmes. Expected Audience We expect the exhibition to attract a mixed audience of local visitors, artists, curators, students, researchers, and members of London's independent art community. As the exhibition will take place at Lewisham Arthouse, we anticipate engagement from its existing local and artistic networks, alongside audiences reached through Sensaflare's publicity, participating artists' networks, and social media promotion. We cautiously estimate around 200-300 visitors across the exhibition period. The exhibition is likely to be of interest to audiences engaged with contemporary art. We also expect visitors from art universities, emerging artist communities, and audiences interested in artist-led and independent cultural spaces in London. Artist Responsibilities - Selected artists will be responsible for: - transporting their work to and from the venue - installing their work during the designated installation period - de-installing and collecting their work on 29 September 2026 - providing any specialist equipment required to present their work - arranging any necessary insurance for their work and equipment - completing one invigilation shift of approximately five hours during the exhibition Applicants must confirm that they can fulfil all of these responsibilities before submitting.

This contribution is used solely to support the delivery of the exhibition and is not an application or curatorial fee. All sales and payment arrangements will be handled directly between the artist and the buyer. Further details about the programme and guest registration will be shared with selected artists closer to the date. Attendance at the Private View is encouraged but not compulsory. Any exceptional circumstances should be discussed with the curatorial team in advance. The exhibition may also be listed or promoted through Lewisham Arthouse’s website and communications channels, where applicable. We will prioritise works in which plants are integral as a subject, material, carrier of knowledge, relational presence, or creative method, rather than functioning only as decorative imagery. We will also consider installation feasibility, technical requirements, available space, and the relationship between works across the group exhibition. They will then receive further information about the participation contribution, artwork details, publicity materials, installation planning, invigilation, the Private View, and de-installation. Participation will only be confirmed once the artist has accepted the offer, completed the required documentation, and paid the £60 exhibition contribution.
