IMPAKT FESTIVAL 2013 - CALL FOR FESTIVAL CURATORS
Deadline: 18 March 2013
IMPAKT FESTIVAL 2013
30 October - 3 November
CALL FOR FESTIVAL CURATORS
to investigate this year's theme 'CAPITALISM CATCH-22'
Impakt invites interested parties to submit curatorial proposals for the 2013 Impakt Festival, which will take place from 30 October to 3 November, focusing on the theme 'Capitalism Catch-22'.
The Impakt Festival is the annual culmination of the activities of Impakt as an organisation that specialises in critical media culture: a multimedia festival with conferences, readings, performances, screenings, exhibitions, presentations and music.
The curatorial proposal can be submitted by curators individually or collectively and should revolve around this year’s theme, 'Capitalism Catch-22'.
Capitalism Catch-22 (working title)
Many people argue that, so far, humanity hasn’t come up with any feasible alternatives to capitalism, whilst at the same time this economic system seems a dead end. With the world population increasing, imminent energy and natural resources crises and the growing complexity of financial structures, we want to study the future of capitalism as our society's basic principle, possible alternative systems, the role media culture plays in a market economy and how new technologies and small scale initiatives can offer solutions.
We expect curator(s) to present a clear vision on the above issues in order to investigate and analyse both past and future structures using the programmes they curate for the 2013 Impakt Festival.
The curator or curatorial team can be responsible for the entire festival programme comprising films, lectures, new media projects, presentations, a music programme and an exhibition. It is also possible to submit a proposal for one or several parts of the festival programme.
Deadline for festival programme proposals: 18 March 2013
