Deadline: September 2, 2014
Each year Global Fund for Women produces multimedia projects dedicated to elevating the diversity of women’s experiences and voices by exploring a critical issue related to women. This year the IGNITE online multimedia project will investigate the impact of technology and science on the global evolution of gender equality.
Launching in November 2014, IGNITE will showcase female artists, designers and creative technologists who are inspired by and/or integrate science, math, engineering and technology in their creative process or in the presentation of their work.
We invite female artists (or collaboratives led by women) of all disciplines to submit creative work that can be displayed and appreciated on an online platform. We are particularly interested in work that utilizes technology to create an interactive experience and that incorporates themes of women’s human rights, movement building, feminism and the future of gender equality. We encourage artists from all over the world to participate.
Intention to Submit Deadline: August 15, 2014
Submission Deadline: September 2, 2014
Dates: The IGNITE Project launches in November 2014 and will continue through June
Presentation: Global Fund for Women has a broad global audience through its on-the-
ground partnerships and through social media channels. Work presented in Ignite will be visible to women around the world.
A selection of pieces will be physically installed at Ignite-related exhibitions in San Francisco and New York. We are actively seeking other global opportunities for physical events and anticipate one or two other opportunities over the course of the project.
