Nobody’s Fashion Week Films and Performances Open Call
August 12, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - August 25, 2020 @ 11:30 pm UTC-5
Nobody’s Fashion Week is seeking experimental and alternative short Fashion Films and Live Performances! As part of our public programming, we are hosting a virtual evening event on Wednesday, September 30, where these films/ performances will be showcased via Zoom. Creators are strongly encouraged to attend the live event for a brief Artist Talk and Q + A following your film/ performance. Each film/ performance should be around 5-10 minutes and, given our low-budget, we encourage you to submit work that’s already been created.
Please email us your proposal, statement of interest, work samples, and a short bio to fashion@fluxfactory.org by August 25th. Artists will receive a small $20 stipend and lovingly crafted snail mail as a token of our gratitude for your labor and participation. The event will have sliding scale entry ticket fees; all money raised will be split amongst the artists sharing work.
Nobody’s Fashion Week is centered around reimagining the Fashion Industry from the bottom up. The virtual show features works and public programs by 20+ alternative artists, designers, educators and organizers using wearables, textiles and the body as a medium. Their practices span a range of themes – such as personal identity, body politics, cultural history, sustainability, craft and technology – but all share roots in critically engaging with fashion. We welcome all proposals that feel connected to Nobody’s Fashion Week! Thank you so much for your interest!
Image description: Mixed media flyer. Text reads, “Open Call for Alternative + Experimental FASHION Short Films + Performances. Deadline: August 25, Email: Fashion@fluxfactory.org.” The word FASHION is written in large, wobbly, pencil bubble letters in the center of page. The other words are light blue, handwritten inside pencily, scribbly, oblong shapes. The background is a collage of peachy, light blues, lavender and neutral fabrics and paper, with visible stitching and yellow tape holding haphazard elements together. Scribbly pencil, burgundy and olive marks are sprinkled throughout the flyer.
