CALL FOR ART

Zozobra II

ENTRY DEADLINE NOV. 30, 2025

Time Until Submission Deadline: May 31, 2026

The level of anxiety is growing, distress is transforming groups and communities as violence and corruption corrodes the appearance of normalcy. Just how long will western leaders continue undermining democracy, rupturing the rules-based international order, and provoking a global shift toward fascism over oil, money, power and greed. How long will citizens tolerate it?

This call is for artists to step up and fulfill their duty as harbingers of truth and guardians of cultural history against the growing threats of totalitarianism and environmental destruction.

Suture Zone seeks visual art that engage with your environment: the actions of DHS/ICE, corrupt political figures, oppression, discrimination, unlawful arrests, rights infringements, or the plight of those affected by capitalism, labor, and land struggles; fine artists examining the zozobra that looms over the world or their personal lives. There are no content or style restrictions.

Welcome to Suture Zone

Suture Zone online gallery and publication, has been created to establish an archive of socially and politically motivated art alongside printed anthologies, aimed at representation of the challenging era we inhabit.

Creating art for social change demands a critical examination of the world while using the language of art to convey important messages beyond the written word. Engaging with such art requires viewers to interrogate both the artifact and its context. This reflective process fosters dialogue between the viewer and the artwork, prompting shifts in perception, understanding, and values. Ultimately, this interaction serves as a mechanism for healing the wounds between our environment and humanity.
