About the organization
Tell That Story is a Nigerian-based cultural organization dedicated to the art of visual storytelling. Founded with the conviction that images can carry narrative weight equal to text, the organization supports photographers, illustrators, and multimedia artists who engage with social realities, personal histories, and imagined futures. Its open call, 'Visualize!', exemplifies this mission by inviting artists to submit series that demonstrate a clear narrative arc and a distinctive visual language. Rather than privileging spectacle, Tell That Story favors work that is conceptually grounded and emotionally resonant, often reflecting the complexities of contemporary African life and its diasporas.
Opportunities
3 listedApplication guidance
Artists should approach Tell That Story with a cohesive body of work that clearly communicates a story. The open call 'Visualize!' typically seeks series of 5–10 images accompanied by a concise artist statement. Ensure your submission demonstrates a thoughtful sequencing and a clear narrative intention. Technical quality matters, but conceptual clarity and authenticity are paramount. Review previous selected works on their website to understand the curatorial taste. Deadlines are strict, and applications are accepted through their online portal. Include a brief bio and contact details, and avoid generic portfolios; tailor your entry to the theme if one is specified.
