Open Call: FPP Residency & Exhibition
We warmly invite artists whose practice broadly and in diverse ways engage with experimental, alternative, and/or critical image-making, whether through analogue processes, archives, or hybrid approaches. We are particularly curious about practices that treat image making as a way of living and thinking alongside the planet and other beings, and welcome long-lived projects, works-in-progress, and undefined processes that embrace slowness, collaboration, and more-than-human care.
This residency is organized by Konstkollektivet in collaboration with Flower Power Photography, Centrum för fotografi, and AiC (Artist in Coexistence).
