Open call for artists: BRAWE

If you are a young artist working in the field of contemporary art, pissed off by the structural oppression of patriarchal society and inclined towards collective action, VAHA’s Eskişehir and Budapest hubs invite you to be BRAWE!

A joint project between Turkey and Hungary, BRAWE, will take place simultaneously in two cities, Eskişehir and Budapest, and will bring artists, scholars and activists together for experimentation and collective work.
 
BRAWE will collectively select a group of young artists to participate in various seminars and workshops throughout the project duration for seven months including six labs in each city and an international artist camp in Turkey. Focusing on the diversity of approaches to feminist discussions, BRAWE offers tools and arguments for young artists to create art projects with local and international collaborators. In the final stage of the project, participants will organize an exhibition at the Bankito Festival which will take place in Hungary, in July 2022.
