DISLOCADA/DISLOCATED Issues international open call for video work.
DISLOCADA/DISLOCATED a Performance Collaborative with members in the United States, Colombia and Mexico issues an open call for Video performance. The call is open from August 1, 2019 with a September 15, 2019 deadline for video submissions. Announcements of videos accepted for screening will be sent out on October 6, 2019. The videos selected will form part of a "DISLOCADA / DISLOCATED" video showcase with simultaneous showings on Friday, October 25, 2019 at Liliput Gallery in Puebla (Mexico), K - Cultural Zone in Bogotá (Colombia), and PaintedFoot Studio in Philadelphia, PA, (USA).
This call invites visual and video artists as well as other creatives and people interested in participating through a pre recorded video performance or by registering a video recorded action/performance in urban spaces anywhere in the world.
We are interested in selecting audiovisual material that generates questions especially about the body as circumscribed political territory, as a place of political resistance, dissidence, a locus for cultural, social, gender and migratory conditions that occur in the public / private spaces and in many ways defines the human body or not. This call urges you to ask yourself What is dislocated? What happens when we "leave" pre-established schemes, those imposed or deemed to be "correct" etc.? What kind of reflections do we want to propose or inquire from these "dislocations" of meaning?
This collective curatorship is a collaboration between independent artistic platforms and
performance festivals: including the 11th Live and Deferred Action Meeting -AVD- (Bogotá, Colombia), Liliput Gallery ( Puebla, MX) and Dissident Bodies in collaboration with Brob Din Gnag (BDG) (Philadelphia, USA).
Entry Guidelines:
-Duration of video: five minutes maximum.
- Formats: MP4, AVI, Quicktime, MPEG.
- Brief description of the work.

The work selected for the DISLOCADA / DISLOCATED sample will be part of the video showcase that will premiere in Philadelphia, PA (USA) in Bogotá, Colombia and in Puebla, Mexico.
