Call for submissions: 2021 Uncloud Festival in Netherlands

The sixth edition of the annual festival will run for three weeks, and the organisers are looking for cross media and interdisciplinary artistic pieces, which could take the form of physical installations, audio-visual screenings or performances or other experimental contemporary works of art across disciplines and media.

“In addition to being a festival, Uncloud is a platform for young and emerging artists and is deeply committed to creating a sustainable artistic ecosystem where there is room for experimentation, research and interdisciplinarity,” a Uncloud Festival said.

Who should apply?

The organisers are interested in pieces that incorporate one or more of the following themes:

• Creative use of contemporary technology.
• Reflection on modern society and present dilemmas.
• Site-specific works that engage with the space (or themes) of the former forensic psychiatric observation clinic.

How to apply

The following details are required to submit applications:

• Name and photo of applicant.
• Format of work (installations, audio-visual screenings or performances, or others).
• Project description, and a description of how the project will relate to one of the three themes.
• Technical rider.
• Budget indication.

Interested applicants can fill the online form here. The submission deadline is 10 November, 0.59am (CAT).

A budget is set for the selected projects including materials, fees and travel within the limits of the overall budget of the event.

Note:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Uncloud says the scope and exact format of the festival remains uncertain. If necessary, the onsite technical crew will assist international artists remotely with setting up their piece, if travel restrictions prohibit physical attendance.
