Hi,
Call for Entries - Deadline: June 5, 2018
Announcing the much-awaited 4th edition of Gender Bender, the Festival that has added exciting new angles to the gender discourse - and not just in Bangalore!
Gender Bender is the first festival of its kind in India that showcases new works of art around gender, as a concept, discourse, construct, and as art itself. In the last four years, it has transformed to more than a showcase festival, and has become a recognised space for conversations on gender with artists and audiences alike.
Call for Entries:
We invite applications from artists who have things to say and work to display around the ideas of gender, in a way that has never been done before. You are encouraged to approach this theme in a critical way, in relation to your own perspective. The artistic contributions can take any form of expression across different media - from dance to drawing, from photography to pottery, mixed media to mime, and everything in between, so long as it is new work that can be presented, performed, screened, or exhibited to an audience.
The aim of this festival is to contribute to the ever-evolving understanding of gender and its implications, to help produce works that re-examine and re-imagine the concept.
To apply:
1. Fill in the application form: goo.gl/forms/UqKLR4cV68tk7KFk1
2. Send relevant samples of your previous work, and materials supporting it, including:
a) A short note describing the previous work,
b) A maximum of five photographs of previous work,
c) Video link of previous work (optional), and
d) A write up (not exceeding 100 words) describing the context of your previous work, which deals with notions of gender, giving us an idea of your artistic interest and preoccupation with it.
Please upload all relevant materials to your Google Drive and title the shared folder as: âYour Name- Sampleâ. Then send an editable link to ***@gmail.com
The deadline for the submission of applications is June 5, 2018.
An independent panel, comprising of eminent individuals in the arts, will shortlist the projects to be supported. Applicants will be informed of their decision by July 1, 2018.
All shortlisted participants will receive a grant of a maximum of INR 30,000 towards the creation of the work, awarded at the discretion of the panel with due reference to your proposal.
Selected projects will be presented in Bangalore at the Gender Bender Festival between August 22 and 26, 2018.
It is a matter of pride that many of the projects showcased in the previous editions have gone on to become full-length projects performing across the country. A few of these include:
Lady Anandi by Anuja Ghosalkar. A full-length production that has performed across Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune and Delhi, and also internationally, in Germany and Sweden.
Dekho Magar Pyar Se by Vikrant Dhote. Full-length piece that performed at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in Mumbai, and across Mumbai and Bangalore.
A Brief History of your Hair by Deepika Arwind. Post Gender Bender, this work received a grant from IFA and the New Voices Theatre Project and premiered in Bangalore in March 2016.
Swachhandacharinee by Madhusree Basu. Her project has performed at several locations across Chennai, and will be on display at festivals such as the Thirupatthur Theatre Festival.
Dohri Zindagi by Neha Singh. A full-length piece that has performed across 15 cities at various theatre festivals.
Yellamanaata Mela by Shilpa Mudbi Kothakota. This piece has been taken to various colleges and other locations in Bangalore, reaching newer audiences.
Gender Bender is a joint project of the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan and Sandbox Collective. The project is conceived, conceptualised, and curated by Sandbox Collective.
