OPEN CALL - drop off of Posters, Protest Signs, T-Shirts, Ephemera
Press Release:
We invite artists as well as the the public at large (friends, family, even your kids!) to participate in a show that is a direct visual response to our current political climate.
This is Black Ball Projects’ second of two exhibitions in response to the election.
We are officially accepting materials now! And throughout the duration of the show. (Details below)
This is an experimental exhibition that seeks to reflect the actions our collective bodies have taken through different types of protest and expression. We are interested in thoughts made visible—concerns and civic calls for action alongside earnest or humorous demands for sanity.
We are focusing on the poster or the protest sign as the medium of choice, but are also open to various media:
– Posters
– Protest Signs
– T-shirts
– Ephemera
All material should have original authorship. We will be crediting content to the author. For this reason, please don’t submit found material that you have not created yourself.
Items will all be added to the walls of the gallery on a continual basis, from the opening to the closing of the exhibition. We look forward to presenting the multiplicity of visual protest seen since the dawn of the Trump era.
If such actions have so far been private or only imagined, now is the time to go public!
And finally, this show will culminate in a small catalogue or “zine.” We like to think that this will serve as a historical document in some small way. All work will be photographed (and credited) upon arrival and we aim to have this catalogue/zine available by closing day May 6, 2017
