Hand Fetish Projects (HFP) is an independent arthouse that publishes curated visual culture projects. The Open Call “How to Survive in Southeast Asia” seeks images and visual works that capture the region’s complex realities, whether created by artists born, trained, or shaped by Southeast Asia or by those encountering it from elsewhere. Submissions may include painting, drawing, photography, illustration, graphic design, collage, mixed‑media, or AI‑assisted image‑making, provided the work can be reproduced in print. Selected artists will have their works featured in the limited‑edition Issue #01 publication, receive a high‑resolution PDF edition, priority access to the physical edition, professional documentation, and inclusion in the HFP archive for future re‑exhibition. Submission is free, and artists retain full copyright while granting HFP a non‑exclusive right to publish the works within the project. The call runs from 15 June to 31 July 2026, with selection announced in August and publication expected in September 2026.
