Call for Art Work for ICSA 2008 Conference
Phoenix Project Ex-member Art and Literary Works
Former members of cults, or high demand organizations, are
invited to take part in the upcoming Phoenix Project, an exhibit of cult related
artwork created by former members, to be presented at the 2008 International
Cultic Studies Association Conference at the University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
from June 26-29, 2008.
If you
are an ex-member of a cult
or high demand organization,
The Phoenix Project of the
International Cultic Studies
Association is pleased to
invite you to participate in
our next annual exhibit,
scheduled for June 26-29,
2008, at the ICSA Conference
in Philadelphia, PA. This
call for work is for those
works of art that are
related to the cult, or high
demand organization
experience.
You are
invited to submit proposals
of your visual art, drama,
dance, music, video, or
literary works that
illustrate the world of the
cult survivor, including
life in that group, healing
or recovery from that time
in the group, or aspects of
the time of transition from
the cult or high-demand
organization.
Creations may be in any art
form, including but not
limited to: literary (such
as poetry, drama, short
story, or other writings),
music of any kind, dance,
and the visual arts (such as
paintings, drawings,
collage, sculpture, fiber
arts, photography, film,
video, or multi-media).
If
desired, this work may be
presented anonymously,
through another presenter.
We hope
that not only will this
exhibit illuminate the
reality of life in a
high-demand organization or
cult, and of its effects on
individuals, but also, that
it will provide an
empowering experience for
participating artists, who
will have the opportunity to
tell their own stories in
their own ways.
For
more information, please
e-mail Phoenix Project
Director and Coordinator
Diana Pletts at:
exmemberartwork@yahoo.com,
with “Phoenix Project” in
the subject line.
We look
forward to considering your
artwork for this event, and
hope that you will consider
working with us in this
presentation of ex-cult
member artwork.
Please
pass this announcement on.
Thank you.
