RECORDS: MEMORY AS PROTEST - CALL TO ARTISTS
A.P.E. invites all artists to submit to RECORDS: Memory as Protest, the first group exhibition produced by The Emerging Curator Program at A.P.E.. In an era of media repression, book bans, mass censorship, and the war being waged on education, the act of both individual and collective remembrance are powerful forms of social action. RECORDS: Memory as Protest is interested in any and all work relating to memory as a form of protest. All disciplines are welcome. Emerging artists encouraged to apply.
This exhibition will occur in September 2025 at the Split Level Gallery at 33 Hawley. https://www.apearts.org/submissions.html
