Open Call – International Contemporary Art Exhibition
Biblioteca Ernesto Balducci, Florence, IT
Deadline: 01.05.2024

SCD Textile & Art Studio, a non-profit cultural association situated in Perugia, operates within the sphere of contemporary fiber art. It is committed to organize and support international art endeavors on a national scale, aiming to acquaint a diverse audience with the textile-oriented languages of contemporary visual arts.

This June 2024, SCD Studio is organizing an international group exhibition at the Biblioteca Ernesto Balducci in Barberino di Mugello (Florence). This event is part of a broader initiative celebrating the capacity of the written word to conjure alternate realities and immersive universes, which we navigate through literature and its subsequent manifestation in contemporary art.

The weaving and interweaving of the words in the books will be echoed - through the different techniques and/or textile materials - by the fiber, textile and embroidery artworks selected through an open call for European artists. This artistic voyage will form a symbiotic path, giving rise to new worlds that reflect the diverse interpretations inherent in every piece of literature—whether prose or poetry, sacred or secular, narrative or novel, fairy tale or myth, chronicle or epic—each rich with its own narrative.
