SUMMARY:OPEN CALL: TALK BACK
DESCRIPTION:“A gif of the words TALK BACK written in large\, block letters\, with colorful patterns changing over the letters. The background is yellow with red dots.” \n  \nFLUX FACTORY OPEN CALL- TALK BACK\nTALK BACK is supported by a generous grant from the NYC Cultural Affairs Disability Forward Fund. \nFLUX FACTORY is thrilled to announce TALK BACK\, Flux Factory’s first open call and exhibition specifically for artists and organizers with disabilities. \nDEADLINE: MONDAY MARCH 18th\, 11:59pm\nAPPLY HERE\n\nFor audio guidelines please go to www.fluxfactory.org/news/talk-back-audio\nFor PDF version of this Open Call\, please go to www.docdroid.net/BhQ57lx/talk-back-pdf.pdf\n \nTALK BACK seeks to center the lives and leadership of disabled artists and asserts that deep-rooted cultural changes must be made within the art world to become more inclusive and accessible. TALK BACK believes that disability must be included in conversations about diversity. One part of affecting change in the art world is by placing disabled artists in positions of influence within the arts to influence change from within.\n\nTALK BACK focuses on how contemporary artists with disabilities are presenting their work and invites disabled artists to submit work that dismantles systems of ableism\, either overtly or quietly. How do we examine\, interrogate\, and resist ableist and classists systems inside the art world? How can we employ the art world to examine social and cultural systems that surround disability outside the art world?\n\nTALK BACK imagines a reality yet to exist\, shifts able-normativity assumptions that every body is able-bodied\, illuminates non-binary futures from able to disabled and debunks disability and “heroism”. TALK BACK envisions and celebrates joy\, radical care\, sovereign bodies\, community building\, non-verbal and alternative forms of communication. TALK BACK disrupts through quiet protest\, individual\, overt and mass protest that includes multiple ways of showing up. TALK BACK works within and against Capitalism\, classism and medical ableism to redefine value\, productivity and worth. TALK BACK makes room for criticism\, restoration liberation\, coming out\, ownership of one’s mind and body\, access demands\, intersectionality and utopias to offer multiple entry points to TALK BACK.\n\nTALK BACK invites proposals for workshops\, performances\, gatherings\, walks\, spoken word\, screenings\, visual arts\, video\, sound works\, DIY\, panels\, grassroots\, poetry\, books\, installations\, zines\, artist talks\, performance lectures\, discussions\, events\, collaborations with your caregiver\, allies\, advocates\, support and service animals. Please know that TALK BACK is an an open call for artists and organizers with disabilities.\n\nDEADLINE: MONDAY MARCH 18th\, 11:59pm\nGo to TALK BACK application HERE\, thank you! \n\nImportant TALK BACK dates to note:\nOpen Call Closes: March 18\nInstallation Dates: May 6th – 8th\nOpening Date: Thursday May 9th \nClosing Date: June 2nd  \nDeinstallation Date: June 3rd and 4th\n\nParticipants will receive a small honorarium for their work and limited access to Materials for the Arts.\n\nFlux Factory gallery and ground floor bathroom is ADA Accessible.
