ARTIST OPPORTUNITIES

Open Call: "I'm From" 
Curated by Joshua Rosenblatt at Local Project

I’m From is inspired by George Ella Lyon’s original poem “Where I’m From” which has been presented in workshops with students and adults as a prompt to help access ideas and memories related to their personal and cultural backgrounds and other unique aspects from their lives. For working artists, this prompt may trigger intimate thoughts and recollections or speak to broader cultural ideas.

I’m From, a LIC-A September 2022 exhibition at Local Project Art Space in LIC, will use this prompt for visual arts, as well as other sensory-based art mediums (e.g. scent, sound). This is an opportunity to think out and work through the literal, figurative, metaphoric, symbolic and abstract box of memory and identity.
