Submission Opportunity
Conversations in America: Under the Gun
The Women In the Arts and Media Coalition is sending out a call for submissions for our new series: Conversations In America. This first artistic conversation is called "Under the Gun." Submissions will be accepted until January 22, 2017 with a performance date in March.
"I know we are a smart enough nation to figure out how you protect responsible gun owners' rights and get guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them."
- Hillary Rodham Clinton
The series will be a creative evening of works that attempt to reach beyond emotions and find ways to discuss critical issues in America. This first conversation is about the gun violence problem in the United States. Yelling and screaming have not changed a thing, so what might?
"We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better."
- J.K. Rowling
We are asking you, our members, to write, paint, sculpt, photograph, film, make music, and/or dance to a better understanding of this volatile subject where entrenched and automatic responses have become knee jerk reactions on both sides of the conversation.
We will host a gala evening to display, discuss, enlighten and begin to mutually develop a way to dialogue the many sides of this issue that affects all of us daily. We are seeking to construct an understanding and develop movement on this issue through our art. How can we talk away the fear - on both sides of the discussion - and find a place of understanding that supports all of our rights? We all acknowledge that this is an uncomfortable talk to have. How do we start the conversation without shutting each other down?
"Art has the power to build connection and empathy"
- John Legend
We are looking for: Short plays and Monologues, Short Films, Music, Poetry, Dance Pieces, Paintings, Photographs, Performance Art, and written and performed pieces with a running time of 10 minutes or less. A female-identified member of one of our full or affiliate member organizations must submit and be the primary engine of the project submitted, but it may have any additional collaborators, female or male, members and non-members.
The deadline is Sunday, January 22nd at 11:59pm.
Yup! You have a little over 2 months. You, too, are under the gun. What are you waiting for?
