The New Flesh

19/01/2022

🪡🪡🪡

First Cut (The Hague, NL) and The New Flesh (London, UK) have joined forces to curate an online screening series: ‘Common(ing) Thread’.

We have found a common ground in facilitating new questions surrounding the intersections between body, costume and society. We believe that subversive costume can expose and challenge the conventions of body politics. How is the (costumed) body recognised, understood and regulated?

We call for experimental video works that engage with the politics of costume, or how costuming practices can be read as a political act.

Deadline: Friday 4 February 2022, midnight (CEST)

For full details of the open call, please see either of our websites: www.firstcut.nl or www.new-flesh.com/commoning-thread.

For inquiries, please email [email protected]
