FestivALT, the Jewish arts and activism program that has taken place in Krakow since 2017, has issued an open call for artists to submit projects. You still have a few weeks to apply — the deadline is January 16.
The sixth edition of FestivALT is due to take place June 24-July 3 (parallel to the annual Krakow Jewish Culture Festival).
The call states:
We invite applications from artists from Poland and around the world in the fields of visual art, performance, and activist intervention that engage with contemporary Jewish Poland. We provide an inclusive platform for under-represented voices and perspectives and are particularly interested in projects that intersect with a local conversation about Jewishness in Poland.
The submissions need not be specifically about Poland but should be relevant in our local context.
We are also drawn to projects that experiment with form and content and investigate or challenge definitions of Jewishness.
Due to continued uncertainty connected to the pandemic, we will greatly appreciate it if you would include some information about how your project might function in a reality of restricted sanitary conditions or even virtually. We ask that you please familiarize with our mandate and previous work before submitting.
If your work is selected, you will recieve:
Presentation of your project during FestivALT 2022 in Krakow, Poland
Artistic fee (TBD)
Accommodation for 2-3 nights
Travel costs reimbursement (if within Europe)
Materials budget coverage (TBD)
Submission deadline: 23:59 CET, 16 January 2022, CET
