Espejos rebeldes: entre la piel y la postura

UNRULY MIRRORS explores beauty salons across East and Central Asia as spaces of contradiction – sites where normative ideals are reproduced, but also where intimacy, appropriation and subtle forms of resistance take shape. In summer 2026 the Goethe‑Institut invites artists of any discipline to submit works or project proposals that engage with the body, beauty and identity within these tensions. An international jury will select seven contributions, one for each of the partner locations (Almaty, Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul, Tashkent, Tokyo and Ulaanbaatar). Selected artists receive financial support for project realization, participation in a shared traveling exhibition slated for 2027, involvement in locally curated public programmes (talks, workshops, performances, film screenings) and international visibility, including a catalogue in Missy Magazine and a presentation in Germany. Applications consist of a short project description, a preliminary budget, a portfolio, a biography and contact details, submitted as a single PDF by 31 July 2026. The production phase runs from September to December 2026, after which the exhibition travels to the partner sites and concludes in Germany at the end of 2027.
