05 Mar 2026 Workshop: Editor Wannabes’ Club - Qilu Criticism

Delving into the affective dimension of editorial labour within contemporary art discourse, this workshop is organised around a collective lexicon-making exercise. In response to prompts prepared by Qilu, participants will discuss their experiences of editorial work: Is the impulse to ‘edit’ driven by a sense of dissatisfaction? What makes editing an invigorating process, and at what point does that same energy become exhausting? How could editorial work embrace doubt and uncertainty, when the editorial gesture so often implies the necessity of resolution? What does an alternative form of editing – one that allows space for uncertainty, questions, vulnerability, and differences – look like?

Through these conversations, participants will identify key terms and write up lexical entries that capture the nuances of editorial practice. These entries will form the foundation of the Lexicon of Editor Wannabes. Initial entries will be drafted during the workshop, and the project will continue through a process of collective writing, editing, and revision in the following weeks, culminating in a work-in-progress presentation in May.

15 Mar 2026 CFP: The Self at Scale - Workshop @ ICI Berlin, Bard College Berlin

Autotheory, autofiction, and related genres, such as auto-sociobiography or mythobiography show the interplay between theorizations of personal life, subjectivity and historical or collective experience. This workshop explores the history of these forms, and is interested in their genealogies, as well as in the politics and aesthetics of subjectivity, especially in the moments when these practices have intensified.

Over 12 months, each Fellow will produce a new curatorial project responding to climate emergency with the option to consider how it intersects with conflict, displacement and ecological decline.

The Fellows will also engage in an international programme of activities offering immersive experiences for new knowledge and best practice to be shared, including:

This is a large-scale, in-person cultural gathering bringing together artists, designers, brands, and communities to create, connect, and experience work in a shared physical space.

24 May 2026 Mozilla Festival - Call for Proposals

Recinte Fabra i Coats, Barcelona, Spain. 28–30 October

This year’s theme is Wilding—It is a provocation: what happens when we loosen rigid systems and create the conditions for communities and technologies to evolve collectively, naturally, intuitively?

Inspired by ecological practices of rewilding, where gardens and forests are left to regenerate through their own intelligence, this theme explores what it means to let our digital worlds grow wilder, more diverse, and more alive. It means community-owned mesh networks, federated platforms, open protocols, community archives and tools built on transparency, trust and mutual flourishing.

We are inviting you to take this theme and submit a proposal for a session or experience that shows how your work can help us all embrace Wilding—to restore balance, and cultivate infrastructures rooted in care, mutuality, and collective action.

We’re looking for submissions across 8 unique community tracks, from builders, technologists, artists and community organizers, all inspired by the theme: Wilding.

31 May 2026 Exhibition: GALLERY44 - The House Has a Body

Gallery44 is inviting submissions for an intimate autumn exhibition in London.

The House Has a Body considers domestic space not as a backdrop, but as something charged: a place where bodies, objects, surfaces and histories leave traces.

We are interested in practices exploring the body, memory, domestic space, objects, architecture, interiors, thresholds, textiles and material traces.

Artists working across painting, sculpture, installation, object-making, textile, photography and moving image are invited to send material.

Submission email in the Instagram post linked.

17 Jun 2026 Architecture at the Edge Festival 2026: Le Chéile – the Architectures of Belonging

Applications for allowances of up to €2,500 accepted for travel, venue rental, honorariums, and production cost for events

Together (Le Chéile) we will invite architects, designers and other creatives to develop and present speculative or research-based projects addressing democracy, spatial justice, and participation through film, exhibition, public workshops and/or lectures.

To suggest new ways of practicing democracy – and how the involvement of local communities in democratic processes of decision-making (through participatory processes) can contribute to further foster the sense of belonging to a democratic society, and further increase their participation in democratic life.

We encourage applicants to interpret the brief as openly as possible. We are seeking proposals which investigate the various facets of how to create inclusive spaces that encourage people to engage in dialogue and civic life and highlight the spaces of citizenship, belonging and Identity. We need to design for everyone, regardless of economic status, and provide tools and environments that enable citizens to shape their own communities.

01 Jul 2026 Call for work - 7th Small File Media Festival

The seventh Small File Media Festival is open for submissions! Artists, activists, media pirates, rogue technologists, and filmmakers: this is your call-out. An all-out intervention to save the world one pixel at a time.

We challenge media makers to intervene in the 4K dystopia of bandwidth imperialism by creating original small-file movies in any genre. This year we especially welcome narrative and documentary alongside our usual arthouse, glitch, punk, and sci-fi.

The frictionless ease of online video hides the environmental damage and surveillant objectives of networked digital media. Small Files are an alternative to these dopamine-poisoning channels; an indiscreet, tactical medium capable of circumventing the dystopic structures of bandwidth imperialism.

If you’ve made it, you can submit it, as long as it’s no more than 1.44MB per minute. If your work is only ten seconds long, that’s only 144KB!
