Blacklisted: Resistance
Submit your work that conveys a message of "resistance" to be interviewed for an article on Blacklisted Copenhagen’s digital platform.
Art is political. Either in it's messaging, or in the act of the creator making a conscious choice to live a life of struggle - the starving artist. In the world's current climate of political polarization, populism, and tyranny, the voice of the artist to draw attention to these issues has never been so important.
Blacklisted Magazine wants to interview and showcase the work of artists who take a stand for their beliefs - whatever they may be. The artist's voice can be a powerful one, so share your perspective.
Opportunity
A minimum of 3 selected artists:
Will be interviewed about your work, your process, and your beliefs relating to the subject of Resistance
And will have your works published on Blacklisted Magazine’s digital publication.
