The Alaska Salmon Fellows, Alaska Humanities Forum, and the Island Institute invite art and writing submissions for their public arts and humanities project titled Salmon Shadows: Art to Inspire Critical Conversations about Alaska's Salmon System.
Images of the selected visual art and excerpts of selected literary submissions will travel to communities in Southeast Alaska during the Island Institute's Tidelines journey in May of 2018. The original artworks will not travel, only digital images of the artwork will travel. Following the Tidelines journey, selections of the artworks and literary submissions will be included in an issue of Forum, the Alaska Humanities Forum's magazine.
The aim of this project is to engage with issues of sustainability and equity in Alaska's salmon systems, creating a better understanding of how humans and salmon interact. Salmon Shadows is a group project of the Alaska Salmon Fellows. Salmon Shadows organizers aim to amplify quieted voices, topics, and concerns when it comes to Alaska's salmon system.
Applicants may submit up to three original pieces of artwork or literary submissions of no more than 3000 words. All visual art must be submitted at a minimum of 300 dpi in jpg format and all literary submissions must be in PDF format. Visual artwork must also include a short statement, no more than 300 words, that describes the "salmon shadow" that the work depicts.
Submission deadline: 15 March 2018
