CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: “Realising Masculinities” DiaV Quinto 2010
DiaV Quinto, Spain, is inviting artistic contributions on the theme of
“Realising Masculinities” for an exploratory and interdisciplinary
community project to be exhibited in March-April 2010 in Quinto, (Zaragoza,
Spain).
DiaV Quinto 2010 is a community project which raises funds and awareness
through benefit productions of Founder Eve Ensler’s play The Vagina
Monologues. Another important part of the project is the experiential
workshops Love Your Body facilitated by the best national and international
experts on the field of gender. The workshops are about (re)presentation,
designed from the belief that we can only ultimately conceive ourselves and
one another in relation to the circulation available of images in any given
society (Watney1997, p.8 [1987]). That is to say, how we individually think
of gender violence, and respond to it, depends primarily on our own
relationship to our sexuality and to our bodies.
After the success of our Vagina(s) Exhibition, Realising Masculinities was
born of a public demand of men to take into account their voices on the
issue of gender violence. We realised that most of the work on gender
violence focuses only on women as victims or, recently as vagina warriors,
but relatively little community work is done to account for men’s
experiences of manhood (see IDS report on “Politising Masculinities:
Beyond the Personal, 2007)
Realising Masculinities will consist of an open free exhibition in
Quinto’s Civic Centre and the neighbourhood villages that will hold all
the illustrations and creative submissions about men’s sexuality
submitted not only by the community members of the county but wider
participants.
We are seeking words, photographs, illustrations, short poems and other
creative submissions which may consider, amongst other things:
- Words on men’s sexuality
- Re-thinking the men’s genitalia
- Artistic representations of the male genitalia
- Artistic representations of men’s body, from the men’s body
- The relationship of men to their genitalia
Deadline to send creative submissions is 13th of March. You can send your
drawings to:
Arantxa Porroche c/o Natalia Subias
C/ Ramon y Cajal s/n
Quinto CP. 50770
Zaragoza
Spain
You can help end gender violence. Simple concrete steps like drawing a
penis can change the world:)))
