It's our annual Open Call! If you're a creative practitioner or collective, submit your online event proposal by 29 March for an opportunity to make it happen with Autograph's support.
"Autograph's Open Call gave us the chance to work together as two friends and an aspiring transnational collective; to bring our experience and ideas together and work directly with an artist we really admire. It was an opportunity to bring a timely, vital conversation to an international audience and offer a space for reflection and art-production. Autograph were encouraging of our idea from day one and offered invaluable insights about their audiences and event planning. Having Autograph manage the marketing, promotion and administration of the event freed us up to focus on the content, artist engagement and experimenting with the event format. It was an honour to be a part of the programme and to contribute to Autograph's continued presence despite Covid-related shutdowns.”
– Haley Moyse Fenning and Delphine Sims, Open Call participants 2020 and curators of the Ripping Into Colonial Monuments event.
"Autograph's Open Call gave us the momentum and support we needed to realise a dream that we've had for a while. We felt heard and seen as we expressed our ideas and received feedback and advice on how to structure our event.
We definitely learned a lot from working with Autograph and now feel more confident to continue creating platforms of transnational solidarity among artivists. We're so thankful!"
– Clo Villalobos and Nikita Sena, Open Call participants 2020 and curators of the Artivism and Transnational Solidarity event.
