RUNNING ARTFULLY NETWORK – ARTIST OPEN CALL

Can art and running catalyse artful ways forward for a post-pandemic future?

The Running Artfully Network (RAN) is a new international artist-led group that brings communities and experts together to reframe running as an artistic intervention to unpick our time of multiple global crises, and to create a more equitable and creative future.

To celebrate its online launch, we’re inviting the submission of proposals for art-inspired running or running-inspired art that outlines new insights into the climate crisis, inequality, the threat of technology, or mental health.

You will present your proposals in the form of presentations that last no more than 8 minutes. This could be in the form of a presentation of the documentation of your work, or in the form of a micro-workshop or enactment, online intervention, performance-lecture and so on.

The top two selected works will be awarded £250 each from the inaugural RAN Award. One of them will be for a Newcomer (defined as someone with less than three years of practice or research in art, or art using running).

We also welcome ‘traditional’ academic papers and other provocations in response to the theme, also within the 8-minute time-limit.

Deadline for submission is 31 January.
