SPROUTS ALIVE!

I am reclaiming brussel sprouts for the tasty side.  I am tired of hearing them spoken of in the same tone as snot, vomit and boiled okra.  Gone are the days of bitter and boiled little cabbage-like veggies that your mother forced you to eat.  Celebrate the roasted sprout with rosemary and a squeeze of lemon.  Live a little.  Actually, live and let live.  This next Call is about reclamation and celebration too.  Say it with art…

Check out this Call for Entries for Enacting Queerness by The Omni Proje[q]t.  There is NO ENTRY FEE, but it will require a bit of a leap of faith on your part.  Take a chance!

*Editor’s Note:  Unfortunately, a handful of you will unsubscribe from this site because of the content of this post.  It makes me sad–not that you’re going, although I hate to see people leave us behind, but because if you are  a human that still has issues with the gender and/or sexuality of others, your life must be very small indeed.

Enacting Queerness

Enacting Queerness uplifts ideas, actions, and/or persons that exist out of the norm in terms of their gender and/or sexuality.  It celebrates the reclamation of deviant identity as an empowering one.  Whether queer identified or not, socially we have been brought to recognize these acts of identity reclamation.  This exhibition aims to uplift these revolutionary ways of existing.

ELIGIBILITY:  All artists are invited to submit their artwork pertaining to the theme for the exhibition, which will take place in a space on Elm Street in Downtown Greensboro, NC for one night only.

DEADLINE:  May 15, 2011

ENTRY FEE:  No entry fee necessary. You just have to pay for the shipping of your polished work to and from their space.

SALES:  No commission will be taken out of what is sold.

  1. I am saddened by your note you “had” to attach to this post. The fact that some people might unsubscribe to your wonderful blog because of information about an upcoming show that you have kindly provided us (no entry fee?? no commission??) is disheartening indeed. You rock, RL! Keep it up!

  2. Thanks for your comment, Kimberly! I was hoping the Editor’s note would serve more as a challenge to the tiny handful that might be less than happy with the content. And, at the moment, no one has unsubscribed. This blog was never meant to be used as a tool to further political issues, but in my opinion it is a human issue–not a political one. And as an English Major, I am also intrigued about the idea of reclaiming a word that at some point turned into a derrogatory one. I hope the show is phenomenal. If I can figure out what to do, I am certainly going to enter to support their efforts! –R.L. Gibson, Editor
