Imagine Yourself
Here’s an interesting call for submissions from Hannah Hill, part of the editorial team organizing the upcoming “Imagining Ourselves” exhibit at the International Museum of Women.
Imagining Ourselves is a global, multilingual exhibit featuring art, music, spoken word, photographs, essays and film by young women between the ages of 20 and 40. For the past ten months, the IMOW has been featuring essays and artwork of young women around the world in an effort to answer the question, “What defines your generation?” and to inspire people to take action on the vital social issues raised through this platform.
From March to May 2007, the focus of the exhibit will shift to Motherhood and the challenges this generation faces. We want to reach out to young women to amplify their voices, talk about issues they face and focus on the issue from different perspectives—but really looking at personal stories. If you have a story to tell, images to share, or a voice that wants to be heard, we welcome your submission. We are accepting film, audio, images, and text on these issues: Maternal health, pregnancy, parenting, single motherhood, adoption, relationships, work and family and much more.
Yahoo! is the digital partner for the “Motherhood” project, and our advocacy partner is the Global Women’s Action Network for Children, guided by leaders such as HRH Queen Rania of Jordan, Madeleine Albright, and Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland.
