Rethinking Eastern Europe

Taking part

Artists and writers approaching Rethinking Eastern Europe should first familiarize themselves with the platform's past projects and publications to understand its curatorial and intellectual concerns. Proposals should demonstrate a clear engagement with the region's histories, cultures, or diasporas, but avoid reductive or exoticizing frameworks. The organization values work that is conceptually rigorous, formally inventive, and politically aware without being didactic. For open calls, carefully read the thematic prompt and respond to it with specificity and originality; generic portfolios are unlikely to stand out. Include a concise artist/writer statement that articulates your practice and its relation to the call's themes. Since resources are limited, patience and professionalism in correspondence are appreciated. The platform is particularly interested in voices that have been marginalized within both Eastern European and global contexts.
