OPEN CALL for the SABAA ART AWARD 2021 # e n s e m b l e
PANDEMIC-VOICES AND VIEWS FROM SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
Award for the best image(s) and text(s) by artists of Sub-Saharan African origin about the Covid-19-Pandemic.
Every two years SABAA announces an art award. This time in the categories of photo, illustration, painting, short story, chapter of a novel, poem to artistically reflect upon the special and individual experiences. Also, effects of the Covid-19-Pandemic in countries of Sub-Saharan Africa in order to frame and reframe, to showcase, inform, evaluate, sustain, facilitate, inspire. And to propose artistic positions in handling our todays reality.
The idea
What do we know about the effect and image of the Covid-19 pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa?
What do we see and hear beyond some reports and some statistics? What does matter? What is the story of the place, the group, the individual?
What is a better representation of reality than the individual artistic utterance of an experience and impression? What artistic positions are being formulated now?
The purpose
Creating or providing an original work of art dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its effects on the individual, the group, the region, the country, the dreams, hopes, fears, anger, visions, illusions, and aspirations. And what else a creative mind and heart sees fit.
Providing a voice and visibility for this specific situation and change on our planet. Putting the individual in the centre with its hopes and fears, with its daily-life reality. Acknowledging that art and artworks foster insights of a special, extraordinary nature. Showcasing humanity. Exchange, share. Creating a discourse.
