Open call for submissions to IMMEMORY, an ongoing online group exhibition dedicated to COVID-19.

Initiated in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, IMMEMORY is a long-term archival project that aims to facilitate sharing of creative and thoughtful responses to the changing pandemic crisis from across the world. While the pandemic is profoundly shaking up the world, this exhibition is dedicated to bringing perspectives to issues underscored by the current crisis and documenting what it means to live through this unprecedented moment, through a creative angle.

The IMMEMORY archive is live at www.covid-immemory.com. The website wins a Nomination for the 20221 Webby Awards in Cultural Blog/Website and continues to welcome submission of works from around the world responding to the COVID pandemic. Submissions have no limitation in terms of format or length: prose, poetry, artworks of any medium are welcomed. We're especially interested in hearing about how you have thoughtfully (re)examined things from unfamiliar angles during this pandemic.

Ultimately, in these troubled times, we want to use art to foster a better understanding of the experiences of others, to transcend individual differences and cultivate a sense of empathy, and to raise awareness of shared values rooted in our humanity.
