IUVENTA OPEN CALL — SELECTED ARTISTS
We are pleased to announce the five artists and collectives selected through the IUVENTA Open Call.
The Open Call was conceived as a call for ideas for the possible future of the IUVENTA, rather than as a production commission for fully developed projects. The selection focused on identifying ideas, perspectives and lines of research that could contribute to a broader discussion around the future of the vessel.
The selected proposals will come together around a shared table of discussion, as part of the next stage of the IUVENTA project.
