Call & Response is an annual exhibit of collaborations between writers and visual artists, in which one calls and one responds. The result is a dynamic set of paired works of words and artistic media that resonate and speak to contemporary issues. The theme for Call & Response 2020 is Structures.
What architecture will you create in this work, and how will form and meaning support one another? What is the “use” or the imperative of any structure? On what will your structure rest?
Consider: bone structures, organic structures, network structures, scientific structures, and tree structures.
As our society reckons with structural inequities, and structural racism in particular, how do we as artists and writers un-struct, de-struct, and instruct, and eventually help construct new systems on new foundations?
