CAC—Due 2/10: Creative Action Coalition is looking for artwork expressing the soul of the colonized, the oppressed, and the displaced. Response to oppression can take on many forms, sometimes all at once: pain, anger, despair, feelings of alienation, and internalization of colonial prejudice. Recognizing this phenomenon can lead to positive expressions such as empowerment, seeking accountability, and hopeful visions of the future.

Whether performance art, paintings, photography, sculpture, animation, moving image, poetry/spoken word, sound art, or any digital work, we invite you to share your feelings through your art. All mediums are welcome.
