CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS PIX, ISSUE NO. 5
Alhad Parker
As much a philosophy, an ethics of engagement, as an ‘act’, the notion of Freedom seeks to engage a series of photographs that may highlight how a circumstance, a point of view or even an idea may liberate an individual, an artist, the society, or even a perspective.
How does freedom – or the lack of it – impact our everyday lives? The visualisation of ‘freedom’ may be expressed through actions, through notions of identity, through forms of resistance, or even through the power of an image - a portrait that may break the norms of convention, a landscape that may have a hidden history, or a candid shot that alters ones notion of reality.
It can be about understanding the self within the larger context of society – what are the notions that drive us, that make us rage against known barriers? What makes us free to be who we are? A sense of ‘freedom’, may therefore be conceived not only in social, political, or cultural ways but aesthetic formats of picture making as well, that challenge and open up our points of view.
Spread the word. Blog about it. Tell your friends.
The call for submissions is addressed to those who take photographs for pleasure or professionally and would like to contribute within the frame of the desired theme. In short, even amateurs and enthusiasts with a body of work may contribute.
