Contest for photographer and audiovisual artists

Deadline: 26th June 2019

Parallel Traces is a project co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the EU. It aims to bring to light traces of Jewish heritage in Europe. The contest is open to photographers and audiovisual artists residents in Europe.

Categories:
From Now: Presence at Present
In this category participants will focus in discovering whatever remains of Jewish Heritage in the urban tissue. The keys to this discovery are in the cities themselves. Finding them is just an exercise of running into them. An arch inviting you to go through it, a door, an inscription on a wall, a bridge, all of them are elements, which configure a district, a neighbourhood, a historic center. They have remained there for centuries as a part of the daily life and being used for the same purposes for which they were built. Arches that open, bridges that communicate, doors and shops that appeal to you. They were used and still are by the citizens.

From the past: Pictures with History
Artworks in this category may be joined by written texts as a complement. Text and the digital photographs or the audiovisual work must form a single coherent body of work. Inspiration may be sought from old photographs, from written testimonies or from any other source that allows comparing the past with the present.
