Lyrical
What Dating back to the Ancient Greeks, the word LYRIKOS, defined the elegant stringed instrument, the lyre. It was used to accompany intensely personal poetry that revealed the thoughts and feelings of the poet.

What Word Play invites artists to influence the viewer through the interplay between text and visual elements. Today, we no longer have the patience to read long blogs or books; we expect fast, attention-grabbing imagery and memes to stimulate our senses. In Word Play, we are looking for artworks that creatively engage with text, whether through words, letters, phrases, or entire narratives. The text can serve as a message, a visual texture, a conceptual element, or even as the main subject. We encourage submissions that explore the interaction between words and image, spanning themes such as language, identity, culture, politics, and beyond.

What “Under All is the Land” seeks to illuminate the provisional, the transitional, and the liminal. We are particularly interested in works that engage with the intersection of environmental, social, and historical narratives tied to land. Please submit up to three images of your work in any media. Artists must address the theme of this exhibition in their work and in their artist statement.
