Open call for Art submissions to Issue 8 of Haus-a-rest Zine and Social media: The Environment Issue

Alarming changes in nature and our environment are all around us: forests and wildlife are disappearing; air and oceans are increasingly polluted; sea levels are rising; and the frequency of extreme weather phenomena is increasing; additionally, now more than ever we are rethinking how important nature is to us.

While causes and consequences of environmental change are being debated by politicians, scientists and the broader public, the most affected people are often those with least power to stop the process. 

Cultural practitioners, artists, architects and designers in many parts of the world are initiating projects, exchanging ideas and rethinking responses too environmental change, everywhere; while actively engaging their communities. Now, more than ever, we need the arts to help us respond; to inspire and motivate us by offering new ideas that challenge our perceptions and change our habits by introducing radical and trans-disciplinary perspectives and envisioning models of climate justice in the world. 

Your submission should be a response to this climate crisis and how you choose to do this through your practice.

You will need to submit:

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

2) Three lines of text to explain your concept,  why you made the piece and any obstacles you had to overcome.

3) Your Instagram name so we can tag you.

4) Do you wish to join our mailing list Y/N?

Your work will not be accepted if you do not provide all of the four requested items. If accepted your work will be featured in the Zine, Instagram and FB for a least one month, and very likely for several.
