EARTH DAY
A statement is more than words on a page—it is a force for change. It is a declaration of intent, a manifesto of vision, and a bridge between ideas and impact. A strong statement gives clarity, depth, and urgency to creative and activist practices, transforming individual perspectives into collective action.
For Earth Day, we invite artists, activists, and scholars to submit powerful statements that reimagine our connection to the Earth, challenge destructive systems, and inspire action. Throughout history, voices that speak for the planet have been ignored, dismissed, or silenced. Yet, every environmental movement, every shift toward justice, has been fueled by the power of words—statements of urgency, declarations of responsibility, and narratives of renewal.
An art statement is an act of advocacy, a reclaiming of space, and a tool for shaping the future. Beyond accompanying creative work, statements serve as manifestos, testimonies, and calls to action, urging us to rethink our place in the world and redefine our relationship with nature.
Submission Guidelines
We seek compelling, thought-provoking statements that challenge perspectives, redefine narratives, and spark meaningful conversations. Your statement may be:
-
A call to action for environmental justice
-
A poetic reflection on nature’s wisdom
-
A radical reimagining of our relationship with the planet
-
A theoretical exploration of sustainability and resilience
Above all, your statement should resonate with purpose and inspire reflection.
Length: 250-500 words—enough to develop ideas meaningfully while remaining concise and impactful.
This Earth Day, let your words be a force for transformation. Submit your statement and add your voice to the movement.
