About the Open Call

The fourth annual Mad World exhibition understands environmental collapse not as a distant abstract condition, but as something shaped by systems of power: colonialism, borders, racial capitalism, and extractive industry. The theme is informed by intersectional environmentalism, rooted in the work of Black feminist scholars and organizers, and seeks practices that foreground Indigenous, diasporic, queer, and culturally inherited knowledge systems.
