#OpenCall: Queer Quintessential 🌈📷 In celebration of Pride Month, we invite LGBTQIA+ lens-based artists to explore queer life, identity, intimacy, and forms of community through photography and image-based practices. Initiated by Der Greif’s queer Program Curator, Francesca Hummler (@fransangle ), this open call reflects our continued commitment to creating space for queer artists and conversations within contemporary photography. We welcome work engaging with self-representation, chosen family, visibility, and the relationship between public and private space. Selected artists will be featured in an online exhibition on Der Greif’s homepage and invited to join small-group Face-to-Face critique sessions. Submit your work and be part of the conversation.

#OpenCall: Submit for your chance at a 250€ Guest Room Scholarship! Submit by June 6 for the chance to receive the 250 € Der Greif Guest Room Scholarship and have your work seen by curator and researcher Annet Dekker and art historian and general director of the Kunstmuseum Den Haag Margriet Schavemaker (@margriet_schavemaker ). Together, they reflect on the theme: “The Brilliance of the Mundane” ✨ This edition of Guest Room invites photographic projects that reflect on the unnoticed and the unremarkable. Rather than dismissing banality as meaningless excess, we ask how everyday image-making shapes contemporary visual culture and collective memory. We welcome works that approach photography in its expanded sense, including documentary practices, found imagery, archives, moving images, AI-generated material, and hybrid forms engaging with repetition, chance, and the aesthetics of the ordinary. Why submit? • 250 € Guest Room Scholarship • Online showcase on Der Greif • Win a Face-to-Face feedback session with the curators 📷 Submit a photographic or image-based series or vídeo work for free or for a voluntary 10 € donation 📩 Via @picter_com Portrait credits:
