INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
Throughout history, women's voices have been silenced, overlooked, or rewritten by others. Yet, every movement toward justice, every act of resistance, has been fueled by the power of words—statements of defiance, declarations of identity, and narratives of transformation.
An art statement is not just an explanation—it is an assertion of agency, a reclaiming of space, and a force that shapes culture. More than an accompaniment to creative work, statements serve as manifestos, testimonies, and calls to action, challenging the structures that define and confine womanhood.
For this edition of our Statement Award, we invite artists, activists, and scholars to submit powerful, thought-provoking statements that break boundaries, rewrite narratives, and amplify women's voices worldwide. Whether personal or political, poetic or radical, your words contribute to the collective force that propels history forward.
A strong art statement bridges ideas and impact—it is a declaration of intent, a manifesto of vision, and a conversation with the world. It offers clarity, context, and depth to artistic and activist practices, creating space for critical dialogue and transformation.
Submission Guidelines
We seek bold, well-articulated statements that challenge perspectives, redefine narratives, and spark meaningful conversations. Your statement may be:
-
Personal or political
-
Poetic or theoretical
-
Reflective or radical
What matters is that it carries the weight of conviction.
Length: 250-500 words—enough to develop ideas meaningfully while remaining concise and impactful.
