The Stellenbosch University Museum is pleased to invite emerging and established artists to participate in an upcoming exhibition Forward? Forward! Forward…

 

The exhibition aims to bring together a collection of 100 artworks, which re-imagines the future of Stellenbosch University and higher education in Africa. An open call is made for artists to submit proposals for artworks that engage with ideas around the future of higher education in the next 100 years (2018 – 2118). This is a forward looking exhibition. In short, we are looking for compelling, innovative and thought provoking works that will serve as catalysts for debate and engagement on the future of the university. The exhibition will form part of the Stellenbosch University Centenary and is to open on 5 December 2018.

 

Prospective participants are encouraged to submit their proposals to be considered by a selection panel. All selected works will be displayed at the University Museum for the duration of the exhibition.

 All creative expressions are welcome: visual artworks, video, installation, 3D, performance, interventions, music, poetry and other.

Proposal to be submitted with short artist bio, short description of proposed artworks, does the work exist or does it need to be created, delivery cost to & back from Stellenbosch.

The museum will fund the delivery of works and installation. There will not be funding for materials.
