Queer Tides: Call for Submissions 🌊

Deadline: March 16th, 2023, 11:59PM ATL via Google Form

Galerie Sans Nom is seeking submissions for Queer Tides, a video series to be installed in Aberdeen Cultural Centre November 2023, with the possibility of a screening in collaboration with environmental advocacy focused community partners.

Queer Tides

Inspired by the mudflats of the Petitcodiac river and greater Bay of Fundy region, Queer Tides aims to frame coastal and intertidal zones as a queer space, exploring intersecting identities, the relationship between tourism and self-representation, and climate emergency through video. By bridging hollow binaries: ocean and land, grief and awe, documentary and folktale, the program will speak to the role of both uncertainty and enchantment in an environmental context.

This call is open to proposed, in-progress, and completed works by artists of all identities and stages of their careers. Galerie Sans Nom is dedicated to both compensating artists (using IMAA fee schedule as a guide when presenting media artworks) and accessible process. If you need assistance or support to submit your proposal, would prefer to do so in audio/video format, or speak with us directly in French or English, please contact Annie @ direction@galeriesansnom.org and/or Chloe @ chloe@galeriesansnom.org
