Call for Proposals: Moving Walls 16 Documentary Photography Exhibition

While there is a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.
—Dorothea Lange

The Open Society Institute invites photographers and artists to submit a proposal and completed body of work for consideration in the Moving Walls 16 group exhibition.

The exhibition series is an artistic interpretation of the obstacles—such as political oppression, economic instability, and racism—that society often erects, and the struggles to tear those barriers down.

Since its inception in 1998, Moving Walls has featured nearly 100 photographers whose work addresses a variety of social justice and human rights issues that coincide with OSI’s mission.

Eligibility

The Open Society Institute encourages photographers to submit documentary work of national or international subjects that coincide with the issues and geographical areas that are principally of concern to OSI. OSI does not discriminate based on any characteristics that may be protected by applicable law.

Deadline

Friday, December 5, 2008 (Eastern Standard Time).
