Call for Submissions - Feminist Art Festival

OCADU
August 22, 2019 by Akin Collective in Call for Submissions, Event

Feminist Art Festival

Date: March 2020

Location: OCAD University, Toronto, Canada

Deadline: September 1, 2019


Feminist Art Collective (FAC) is a Toronto-based organization that brings together artists, academics, and activists to consider feminist issues through art and dialogue. We are currently accepting submissions for our March 2020 exhibition and conference.


If you are an emerging, established, and/or community artist that addresses intersectional social justice feminist themes in your work, we want to hear from you!

We encourage submissions from First Nations, Inuit, and Métis artists to further the discussion around recommendations in the recently released Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls report in Canada.

We are committed to creating an event that is diverse and reflective of all our communities and we are actively encouraging artists who experience multiple forms of oppression to submit. We strongly encourage Artists with Disabilities, Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, Two Spirit Folks, Queer, Trans and Non-Binary/Gender Nonconforming people to apply.

FAC Vision

Feminist Art Collective (FAC) aims to showcase like-minded, multi-disciplinary art including visual art, film, theatre arts, music, dance, design, spoken word and literature. We will create a space that is celebratory, positive, intellectually engaging and provocative. We are committed to this space being trans-inclusive, anti-racist, and intersectional. Furthermore, by providing an opportunity for feminist artists to meet and share their work, we believe we can provide opportunities for networking and future artistic collaboration that can inspire social change and empowerment. We have the vision that the ripple effect from this type of artistic sharing and learning can provoke positive transformations in both our communities and our minds.
