Call for Entries for work now OPEN & FREE: Emerson Contemporary is now accepting submissions for a thematic, three-week group exhibition of emerging artists curated by Emerson College upper-level undergraduate students, MOVEMENT/S.
We seek photographic and lens-based works that engage, capture, and reflect “movement,” both literal and metaphoric. Our era has rapidly oscillated between inertia and eruption — from massive lockdowns to global protest. How do we process and picture this whiplash of stasis paired together with speed? The call welcomes artworks that examine movement as an issue, including political or physical movements, as well as an idea. Inspired by “moving on” and “moving through,” we also solicit series that explore the role of photography as a tool for change or as a transformative pause or confrontation.

We especially seek projects that challenge binaries to map where we have been, where we are stuck, and how we might navigate, connect, learn, and move forward. Our exhibition aims to be a reflection of and meditation on our time and we look forward to seeing how artists incorporate and interrogate Movement/s at this inflection point.
