Call for Submissions - Matariki exhibition

Matariki - He wa maumaharatanga, te iwi, te whenua

Matariki - A time of remembrance; of people and of place

Exhibition dates: Opens 27th May. Runs 28th May - 11th July 2010

This year, the Matariki exhibition at Corban Estate Arts Centre will combine the annual Auckland Festival of Photography with our established Matariki celebrations.

We are looking for photographers and multimedia/film artists to submit work that echoes one of the core themes of Matariki as a time of remembrance.

Images/works may depict people who have left our lives, the places we hold dear as well as milestones or events that are cherished. Please feel free to be creative, remembrance can have different meanings for everyone and we welcome your interpretation.

While submissions are welcome from everyone, we would particularly like to encourage Maori photographers to submit.

 Submissions are restricted to photography or multimedia and film. There is no size restriction, however please include dimensions in your submission. Submissions will be accepted immediately and will close on the 6th of April.

 Please send an email to the curator, Lisa Rogers with the following:

- A few sentences on the subject matter and significance of EACH of the work/s you are submitting for consideration. Please include the title of each work.

- Jpg or pdf files of the works – there is no limit on the amount you submit, however please make sure the total size of attachments by email aren’t more than 8MB – feel free to send images in more than one email, clearly marked.

- A short paragraph about yourself and background including photographic experience or otherwise and exhibiting history.

 We look forward to receiving submissions – please pass this email on to anyone you think may be interested…

As an added bonus, any submissions accepted for the exhibition and received before February 10th, could be chosen as the image to accompany all of our advertising, media releases and regional promotions (with artist accreditation on the images).
