OPEN CALL TO CREATORS for 2016/17

Association for culture and education KIBLA is inviting Slovenian creators to submit their works from the fields of interdisciplinary, intermedia, visual arts and music for the season 2016/17.

This open call stands for artists and other creatives, as well as institutions and mediators.

Priority will be given to proposals and artworks dealing with the general topic of modern-day migrations and the continuous social and cultural changes in the 21st century, since most of Kibla's programs will be carried out as part of our international project Risk Change (2016 – 2020), which aims to create, connect, compare, disseminate and promote international contemporary art forms, and contemplate migrations, changes, the emerging, the disappearing, and the remaining. Kibla's interdisciplinary artistic and educational character also focuses on building connections with science, especially social and applied sciences and the research of modern technologies. Collaborations with various target groups will focus especially on the inclusion and integration of new migrants, as well as the already existing multicultural social communities.

Contemporary artworks and programs will be selected and presented during the current year, individually or as part of large-scale group exhibitions and festivals.

The artworks will be presented on one of KIBLA's locations in Maribor: the Multimedia center KIBLA (Kneza Koclja Street), KIBLA Portal (Valvasorjeva Street), or ARTKIT (Glavni trg Square), in the form of:

- lectures
- presentations
- interdisciplinary productions
- solo exhibitions
- group exhibitions
- workshops
- concerts or
- AV events.

The proposed works can be on-going projects in the form of productions, co-productions or post-productions, or guest appearances/exhibitions/tours. The selected artists or group representatives will be invited to consider in detail the concrete possibilities for collaboration, which includes guidance and counseling, professional support and complete execution of the public presentation: space (venue), technical support, promotion and networking, as well as photo-, video- and possible printed documentation of the event/work. Available production funds will potentially be assigned to the selected works. Successfully presented works and their creators will be actively promoted and networked in Slovenia and the European space (in the form of presentations, post-productions, reruns, guest appearances, etc.) to compatible Slovenian and European partners and other institutions with which KIBLA collaborates.
