We invite proposals from artists to show their work in individual Artist Videos in our “Artists for Global Transformation” exhibition on YouTube. Submissions should address the conference theme and will be selected by an independent panel. This is an opportunity for Wisdom graduates to impact the global audience with their art. We are inviting artists of all mediums to participate — dancers, musicians, composers, choreographers, vocalists, designers, writers, poets, producers, painters, weavers, mathematicians and scientists — to create Collaborative Videos. A collaboration of cultures, genres, styles, ideals and values is desired with no fewer than three artists. We invite proposals for Poster Videos that address the conference theme or another aspect of formulating and implementing a commitment for the world. It is an opportunity to display what you are at work on and talk about things you have learned, issues you are encountering or ideas you have in a video. |
The Visual Theme of each year’s conference, as depicted on the cover of the journal, provides artists who are Wisdom graduates an opportunity to contribute their images for selection to visually represent the conference.
The image selected will be included on the cover of the conference journal, the Call for Papers and other promotional materials. |
