Art and act is an artistic contest, organised by CESIE, inspired by the beliefs and passions of Marie Marzloff (02/11/1980 -13/02/2018).
Marie Marzloff was the vice director of CESIE. She was responsible for managing human resources and international cooperation. She came to Palermo in 2004 as part of the European Voluntary Service scheme and immediately became one of the most active supporters and advocates of CESIE’s mission and work.
This contest sets to celebrate her interest in art, literature and interculturality – and devotion to the causes closest to her – gender equality, intercultural dialogue and international cooperation.
2020 has globally redefined our common lives as we have been forced to reconceive them both in terms of time and space, leading us to a profound reflection on the social changes which will follow. Windows have become our real and metaphorical vantage points from which we observe our world and the new scenarios awaiting our local and global communities.
As crisis exacerbates inequalities, new perspectives on dialogue and cooperation are emerging just when they seem more necessary than ever. We have learnt to observe the world from a distance, while we also got closer to ourselves by practicing a mindful introspection. Living-without-others allows us to reflect on the sense of our community and challenges us to keep building and finding new identities and meanings.
Artists, professionals, amateurs, students, youth are asked to submit their interpretation of the theme.
The artwork should be thought-provoking and must reflect creative ideas addressing the opportunities and concerns through conceptual, social or political contents. The artwork must refer to this year’s theme and the mission of the contest.
Entries should be new and original artwork in any of graphic art categories such as: drawing, illustration, painting, digital art, graphics, photography, comics, collage. Please note that this list is not exhaustive.
Collective works are also accepted.
Each artist and art collective can participate submitting only one artwork.
The art contest is open to people from all over the world without any age limits. The participation is free of charge.
**Deadline for application: October 1st
