ZOZOBRA II: A Call for Art
The level of anxiety is growing, distress is transforming groups and communities as violence and corruption corrodes the appearance of normalcy. Just how long will western leaders continue undermining democracy, rupturing the rules-based international order, and provoking a global shift toward fascism over oil, money, power and greed. How long will citizens tolerate it?

About Suture Zone
Suture Zone is an online gallery and publication based in Canada. Suture Zone has been created to fill a perceived gap in the art world in which artists with a message of social change or political content are caught in the void of galleries not addressing global, political and existential issues, and a lack of media outlets for promotion and dissemination of critical artistic responses to the despotism growing in the world.
Each submission includes up to 2 artworks.
