Liberation
Doll Parade Entry Form
Open
call to all to submit dolls, stuffed figures, or action figures for the
Liberation Doll Parade at Flor Y Canto, a community center in Los
Angeles. http://www.florycanto.org
Mediums
and working methods are open but dolls/ figures should be ready to hang.
Some possible suggestions are contemporary or historical
revolutionary
figures, musicians, Zapatistas, hippies, Black Panthers, regular folk,
French
philosophers, artists, feminists, and so on.
The
Liberation Doll Parade was conceived as an exhibition to celebrate
radical,
revolutionary, anti-authoritarian individuals, rebels, movements,
moments,
ideas, theories, imaginations, fantasies, utopias, and more through
dolls made
by artists and others who do not define themselves as such.
The dolls will be installed on the walls around the space in a
parade
like formation. Additional props such as banners, signs, and floats can
also be
submitted.
Flor
Y Canto was chosen as the site for the first exhibition because of its
role in
the community. It is a warm,
comfortable, welcoming space where one can go, hang out, and be in a
social
setting without having to consume. It
is a space where people have ideas that lead to action in attempts to
make our
world a more hospitable place. It
is also a great place to play foosball, see films, read radical books,
and get
really cheap Internet access.
Please
complete the information below for each piece you are submitting.
All
work must
be ready to hang.
