About the Open Call

"Swipe Left" explores the intersection of traditional romantic grief and the unique digital fatigue of modern-day dating. From the "ghosting" of the digital age to the timeless ache of long-term parting, this exhibition seeks to map the landscape of heartbreak in 2026. The call seeks work that investigates vulnerability, chaos, and resilience in the aftermath of love, translating rejection into art.
