We invite artists from all backgrounds and disciplines to submit their work for consideration in our upcoming exhibition, "Cosmoscope". The exhibition will be open over several weekends in March 2024 at the Torriano Meeting House in London, with a launch event featuring live performances. Following the exhibition, the project will be encapsulated in a digital zine.

About the theme:

Cosmoscope is a combination of words: ‘Cosmos’, from kosmos, the Greek word for ‘world’, is confronted by ‘scope’, the call to investigate.

We ask artists to question the perceived boundary between self and world, and to imagine it as a fluid space of flux, creativity and exchange.

We want you to examine the delicate balance between the microcosm of our daily existence and the macrocosm of the universe. Can we glimpse the cosmic in the mundane, and the urban in the celestial?

The cosmoscope invites you to explore your corner of the universe, whether that be a real, desired, dystopian, ephemeral, domestic or endangered world. We invite you to map out your home and to narrate your cosmology.

Weave or photograph your place in the world. We are looking forward to our journey into the Cosmoscope.

This exhibition asks artists to create works that transcend boundaries of scale and perspective. We welcome artwork interrogating but not limited to: the home, climate change, the city and outer space.

Submissions accepted:

All forms of art, including but not limited to fine art, sculpture, textiles, craft, installation, photography, film, performance art, spoken word, poetry.

About the venue:

The Torriano Meeting House is a user-funded, grassroots, volunteer-run arts and community organisation in Kentish Town, London.

The community hub is best known for its poetry events, though the fascinating space also hosts storytelling workshops for adults, local political campaigning groups and theatrical events.
