TERANGA 2014
INTERNATIONAL ILLUSTRATION CONTEST - 1st edition
Ramatou, Institute for the art networking, is pleased to announce an international competition of illustration, open to both artists and art students, in TERANGA 2014 context.
The International Art Festival TERANGA is based on the wealth of artistic and cultural contamination. It takes place in Skrbina, in the heart of the Kras region, Slovenia.
(In the Senegalese language of Wolof 'Teranga' means 'hospitality')
The festival's underlining theme is 'In-between'
The art is always a bridge between the everyday foolish game of life and … the spiritual flight into unknown worlds. Worlds which constantly mingle, interweave, contaminate each other and create the feeling of being ‘in-between’, between different cultures, languages, but also between different visions and perceptions of ourselves ..... This feeling of ‘in-between’ opens our minds ... and in this way we can know and accept the different from us, the other ... because we are all inevitably ‘the other’.
1. Enrolment conditions
Any artist and art student from anywhere in the world can enrol. There is no age limit. Every candidate is allowed to submit 2 new works. Prize-winning works or works previously mentioned for merit will NOT be accepted. Photographic works are also allowed.
2 . Specific techniques used
There are no limits to execution techniques.
Any work must be rectangular, and and portrait (vertical), not smaller than 20x30 centimetres and not bigger than 30x40 centimetres.
3. Theme of the contest
in-BETWEEN
Being among different worlds, which constantly mingle, interweave and contaminate each other and create the feeling of being ‘between’, between different cultures, languages, but also between different visions and perceptions of ourselves ..... This feeling of ‘between’ opens our mind and in this way we can know and accept the different from us, the stranger, the other ... because we are all inevitably ‘the other’.
