Workshop

Open Calls: preparing your project for an application

The workshop is designed to create a productive environment for photographers currently working on a project they want to exhibit. The focus will be on essential aspects of project preparation, including writing a statement and artist biography, image selection and sequencing, creating a CV and a website. Throughout two online sessions, participants will form their projects into a coherent body of work, fully prepared for submission to open calls.

The workshop will also analyse the specifics of open calls, guiding participants on where to find relevant opportunities, which ones to pursue, and how to organise their workflow.

Limited to 8 participants, the online workshop aims for maximum effectiveness for each attendee.

Dates: Saturday 27th April, 18th May

The workshop consists of two online sessions:

  1. Theoretical, where I will talk about open calls and forming a coherent body of work ready for the applications. We will look into editing and sequencing, relation of photographs and text, forming a CV and a website. We will also discuss the doubts, insecurities and questions you might have related to the application process and sharing your work in general. After this meeting you will be given a practical task, which we will discus on the second session.

  2. Practical, where we will discuss your selection, statement, biography, and CV. During this session you will also submit your project to an open call.

This workshop is for you if you want to participate in exhibitions and art residencies, get publications and grants, but are not sure where to start, how to find relevant opportunities and how to prepare your project.
