CLOSED | Call for Entry: Online Group Exhibition - "I Used to Travel!” May 2021
“Three summers ago, I went to the Greek Island of Paros, where I lived 25 years ago. I brought my daughter on the trip and we explored the island together – including the stone passageways of the Byzantine (4thcentury AD) ‘Ekatontapiliani, the Church of 100 Doors’. The church was initially constructed by Saint Constantine, first Emperor of Constantinople, and legend has it the church has 99 doors and that a secret door will open when Hagia Sofia in Constantinople (Istanbul) turns Orthodox again.”
We are excited to announce that our May 2021 online group exhibition, “I Used to Travel!” is being curated by independent curator, photographer, and Director of Photolucida, Laura Moya! To enter, all you need to do is read and respond to the following prompt with your analog photography:
Laura Moya writes: I Used to Travel! is a call-for-entries based on the longing we are collectively feeling right now - of not being able to travel and remembering specific moments from our intrepid past. Share an image and experience of yours that others might delight in while we are confined to our current small footprints. What we don’t want in the exhibition is the “usual” travel images – what we do want is an image that has a story connected to it – something funny, weird, breathtakingly beautiful, or personally meaningful. Something that seems all the more precious now. Please include a narrative of 75 - 100 words with your film or analog process photograph!
The best of these images and corresponding stories will be showcased in an online show curated by Laura Moya on our website starting May 17th, 2021. Good luck!
The deadline for submissions is April 30th, 2021
