Art Contest Marie Marzloff

ALL CONTEST

Contest theme 2020

Promoted by CESIE, Art and act is an artistic competition inspired by the passions and ideas of Marie Marzloff.
The competition stems from her interest in art, literature and interculturality and from the causes dear to her, gender equality, intercultural dialogue and international cooperation.
It aims to continue the work that Marie has begun to ensure that her ideas and passions last over time.

Contest theme 2020: Community windows.

2020 redesigns, on a global level, the spaces and times of our community life, bringing with it the reflection on connected social changes. The window is our new point of observation, real and metaphorical, on the world around us and on the scenarios that await it, whether they are linked to our local community or to the world-community. Inequalities are accentuated and new perspectives for cooperation and dialogue are glimpsed and seem necessary. We learned to observe the world from a distance and we got closer to ourselves by practicing a strong introspection. The experience of "me without the other" makes us reflect on the sense of community and challenges us to continue building new identities and meanings.

And you, what "community imagery" do you observe from your window?

We ask artists, professionals and non-professionals, students, young people, to send a work that interprets the theme chosen for the 2020 edition.

The works must be able to stimulate reflection and reflect creative ideas that show opportunities and considerations of a conceptual, social and political nature and must be inspired by the theme chosen for this year and the spirit of the competition. Candidates must send an original work. All types of works related to graphic arts are allowed: drawings, illustrations, paintings, digital illustrations, photographs, comics, collages and more. Artistic collectives can also take part in the competition. Each artist or collective can participate by presenting a single work.
