African Art in Context Call for Submissions: African Resilience in the Wake of a Pandemic

African Art in Context Call for Submissions: African Resilience in the Wake of a Pandemic

SHARES

Deadline: December 31, 2020

Are you a photographer or a videographer? What’s your COVID-19 story? Send in your photo and video submissions that showcase African resilience in the wake of the pandemic.

A global pandemic dramatically reshaped the world, the continent, and all lives. But amid the disruption, hope is seen. Innovators rising to respond to the challenges. Communities stepping up to practice the precautions required. Each of us doing what we can, and what we must, to keep going. Safely.

The African Art in Context Call for Submissions seeks to tell those stories. Too often in crises, the narrative surrounding Africa is dominated by inordinate fear and negativity. This is your chance to shape a narrative that showcases to the world what we see everyday: the resilience, ingenuity, and beauty of a continent that is navigating COVID-19 with courage, commitment, and compassion.
