Theme: Testosterone

We are looking for projects that analyze or problematize the theme of masculinity. Our understanding of the festival theme – Testosterone – is broad. It could be the life force of the human kind, empowering both men and women’s lives. It may also be the subject of endless social and civilizational readjustments, both physical and psychological, redefined across generations, manifesting itself in a number of different ways. We will look into the ways of picturing contemporary masculine archetypes, its attributes, positive developments and possible dangers.

Awards:

• From among the submitted entries, the curators will select 8 most interesting projects, which will be presented in Warsaw galleries during the festival.
• Out of the 8 finalists the jury will select the GRAND PRIX winner, who will receive the prize of EURO 1200.
• Exhibitions: 20 November – 15 December 2015

Results announced: November 5, 2015
