Open call for artists, writers and creators to respond to the theme of "Beginnings and Endings"

Everything starts somewhere, though many physicists disagree. But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things. They wonder how the snowplough driver gets to work, or how the makers of dictionaries look up the spelling of words. ~Terry Pratchett

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop. ~Lewis Carroll

Everything has to start somewhere and as a creator is the blank page, canvas or new project daunting or the start of the next creative adventure? 

As we move through life we experience multiple, micro beginnings and endings.  New loves, family, connections, work, home spaces, life stages and everything in between.

Starting something can be as hard as the ending and the ending can be as liberating as the start. 

And what of those spaces in between - the liminal and the heterotopia, transitional spaces that are not a beginning and not an end?

This open call is for art and writing that explores this topic.

We are media-inclusive so please submit whatever form works for you. We can accept films on Youtube and Vimeo.

Your submission should be an exploration and response to this theme only.

(NO COVID RELATED WORK)

You will need to submit:

1) A good quality image of your work  - up to three images (please do not send us thumbnail images).

2) Three/four lines of text to explain,  why you made the piece.

3) Your Instagram name so we can tag you.
