open call for participants - group exhibition slipknots 🧶
exhibition dates: June 2nd - June 21st
venue: Accent Sisters, union square, new york city
application deadline: May 4th
Loosely inspired by Linglong (玲瓏), a widely circulated women’s magazine from early 20th-century Shanghai, the exhibition draws from the portable, hand-to-hand circulation of small-format publications that carry confession, rumor, fantasy and story-telling. The exhibition slipknots explore the tension between intimacy and circulation, softness and constraint, and private expression and public visibility within feminist print culture and independent publishing.
The title evokes the condition of being caught between conflicting expectations while finding ways to untangle contradictions. Through public exhibitions, readings and printed takeaways, the show foregrounds personal stories and circulation as forms of connection, positioning living practices that bind communities while continually negotiating the conditions of expression.
open to artists and writers working across all disciplines. media may include painting, sculpture, drawing, printed matter, zine, short prose, and hybrid or experimental formats. selected contributors will participate in the exhibition and/or reading event at
@accentsisters .
