Unbound
22nd September – 18th October 2018
Dunedin School of Art Gallery, Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin
It’s great to be able to complement the annual CTANZ symposium with an exhibition, and proposals are still open for this year’s Unbound exhibition at the Dunedin School of Art Gallery, which will have a four-week run from 21 September until 18 October.
The closing date for proposals is 23 March; full details of how to submit below, and we encourage you to contact the curators if you have any other questions.
The exhibition opening is Friday 21st September as part of Unbound: Liberating Women, the 2018 Costume and Textile Association symposium, organised in partnership by CTANZ and the School of Design and the Dunedin School of Art at Otago Polytechnic – Te Kura Matatini ki Otago.
Unbound is a quality assured, peer-reviewed exhibition curated by Dr Natalie Smith and Victoria Bell. The curators seek proposals that respond to Christine Webster’s Black Carnival Series 1992–1994: http://www.christinewebster.co.uk/texts/w_bc.html. This series of work speaks to the changeability of dress, bodies and sexualities.
