Bando di concorso: Unsilenced Stories 2027 – Off the Charts

The Canadian Association for Health Humanities (CAHH), together with the Rotary Centre for the Arts and the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, invites artists to submit work for Unsilenced Stories 2027 – Off the Charts, a national juried exhibition that investigates narratives, knowledges, and experiences that exist beyond official healthcare records. The exhibition will run from June 1 to October 6, 2027 in Kelowna, British Columbia, and will be part of Creating Space 17: Off the Charts. All media are welcome, including painting, sculpture, video, performance documentation, digital and interactive works. Eligibility is open to emerging, mid‑career and established artists with connections to Canada (Kanata/Canada); artists from Indigenous, Black, racialized, disabled, mad, neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities are strongly encouraged to apply. Selected artists will receive artist fees (inclusive of taxes), exhibition exposure, and inclusion in the Unsilenced Stories Digital Archive. Submissions are limited to three works (or series) per artist and must include a bio, statement, CV and images as specified. The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2027 (11:59 pm PT); artists will be notified in late March 2027. The call is recurring, with new editions each year.
