BID25ART: Open Call "NOSTALGIA. MATTER OF EMOTIONS" for female artists

AUSSCHREIBUNGEN | Einreichfrist: 31.3.2025, Trieste

The BID25ART call is open to female artists of all nationalities working in diverse artistic disciplines, such as painting, sculpture, photography, design, video, installations, and artistic performances.

Each artist may submit up to three works for jury consideration, provided they align with the BID25ART theme outlined above under "Theme." All works must have been completed within the last five years (2020–2025) and must not have been previously exhibited at the BID/ART Biennale. The jury will select one work per artist for the exhibition.

NOSTALGIA. MATTER OF EMOTIONS

Just as every stone caressed by the waves changes shape, every land touched by the sea undergoes transformation.

Transformation, evolution, change: a necessary process that preserves, in new forms, the primordial essence of the past. The sea is the great sculptor of time: it collects fragments, smoothes edges and creates new narratives. What we have been does not disappear, but is transformed into a persistent echo, a nostalgia that is not melancholy, but poetry: the celebration of what we were and which, today, shapes our present.

Nostalgia, here, is a metaphor: a bridge between memory and hope, between what has been and what could be. Like a wave carrying fragments of distant stories, the works on display will be reflections of places, experiences, people and dreams.

‘Nostalgia. Matter of Emotions' is not just an intellectual exploration: it is an invitation to feel, to relive those moments that define who we are. Through art, we want to celebrate the invisible, the unspoken, the intangible power of emotions that bind us to others and to the world.
