Description of Project, Position Studio or other Opportunity - CALL FOR ARTISTS RITUALS – ANIMA MUNDI 2024 Venice | April 12 – 26, 2024 Deadline: March 28, 2024 ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is pleased to announce the open call for RITUALS, first appointment of ANIMA MUNDI 2024, that will take place in Venice at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello (click here to learn more on this venue) from April 12 to April 26, 2024, and in other prestigious venues and historical buildings, during the 60th Venice Biennale of Art. The last edition of ANIMA MUNDI took place in Venice in 2022, presenting a great selection of more than 500 art works realized by 250 artists, coming from 40 countries. The festival focuses on the concept of ANIMA MUNDI, which according to several historical cultures, religions and philosophical systems, is an intrinsic connection between all living entities on the planet, which relates to the world in a similar way as the human soul is connected to the human body. ANIMA MUNDI is the invisible energy behind all the natural and artificial elements that allow the planet to live. Thanks to the hidden connections of ANIMA MUNDI, all the ecosystems of the Earth, before and after the appearance of mankind, found their equilibrium, their ways to live and to develop themselves, to transform and to evolve. All the beings of the planet, plants, minerals, and animals are permeated by a secret force that has always stimulated human thought and research. The festival aims to discover these multiple forms of hidden connections between the soul and the body, mankind and the natural elements, the natural spaces and the cities. We invite artists to show their reflections about the various ways in which the ANIMA MUNDI expresses the relationships among all the existing entities and the natural and cultural systems and to represent by their artistic works the processes of the evolution of the world in which we all live. Artists, designers and architects are invited to talk about ANIMA MUNDI through photo reportage of cities, hidden places, photographic documentaries, personal experiences, presenting their works of photography, painting, sculpture/installation, design and architecture, video art and live performance.
