Event Type: open, call
Organized By: Marcia Rosenberger
Latest Activity: May 1, 2023
We invite creatives to participate in the open call "Who are we? Transcendental self-portraits", which is part of the Mail Art in the XXI Century project promoted by Marcia Rosenberger.
The theme reflects current issues about imposed beauty standards and the actual aging characteristics of our bodies.
We live in a time when concern for appearance is pushing people to extreme limits, especially leveraged by social media. The obsession with selfies with the use of filters and manipulation of images is transforming people into narcissists, causing very negative emotional attitudes towards the way they see themselves.
While this overvaluation of physical appearance is at the top of priorities, the inner self is being set aside. Recognizing yourself is a process of self-knowledge, which raises healthy self-esteem. As well, recognizing ourselves in the other allows us to relate in society with more otherness.
When reviewing the advertising video Portraits of Real Beauty of a famous cosmetics industry aired ten years ago, just before the invasion of selfies, it is evident how essential it is to reinforce the acceptance of our own bodies and our inevitable aging. But for that, we need to really know each other.
So we challenge you to reflect on the questions "Who are we? Who am I?" and send us your work.
