Open call for submissions 

You are invited to submit into our open call for our upcoming exhibition RAGE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT  at the Omnibus Theatre, Clapham Common
 

Standing at the last sunsets of the history of humanity, we look to a new age that we have no control over. We are forced to accept the chasm of oblivion within the futility of our existence, we are faced with a depressive reality that has buried itself deep within our psyche. We nihilistically surrender to the inevitability of death and the darkness that surrounds us within the modern world. In cycles we watch as people die in genocide, we watch our climate die, we struggle against the cost of living crisis. We watch our right to protest die through actions like the Policing Bill, we realise we are the last people to have unrestricted freedom to protest. We grieve beauty destroyed by capitalist oppression. Surrounded by despair we cry out and we try to make a difference in the world. We seek to create beauty in the hope for a better future, we rage against the dying of the light
 

Submitted artworks should exhibit exhaustion with the current political system, challenging the status quo to engage the viewer in discussion and debate, to inspire a sense of hope and a positive outlook for the future. This exhibition is a perfect opportunity to incite change and platform the voices of  revolution. Your submission could also include art that is personal and emotional or could reference a historical example as inspiration. Submissions should inspire viewers to reach out and take action, like protesting, voting, organising or unionising.

​
