Moving Walls is exhibited at our offices in New York and Washington, D.C. Eligibility Criteria
Each Moving Walls exhibit highlights issues or geographic regions where the Open Society Foundations are active. Priority is given to work whose subject has not been recently addressed in Moving Walls, and special consideration is given to long-term work produced over years of commitment to an issue or community. Work in progress may be submitted as long as a substantial portion of the work has been completed.
Any emerging or veteran photographer who is working long-term to document a human rights or social justice issue may apply for Moving Walls. Photographers working in their home countries, women, emerging artists, and people of color are strongly encouraged to apply. The Open Society Foundations does not discriminate based on any status that may be protected by applicable law. Purpose and Priorities
Launched in 1998, Moving Walls has featured over 175 photographers. Over the past 14 years, we have been proud to support the brave and difficult (and often self-funded) work that photographers undertake globally in their visual documentation of complex social and political issues. Their images provide the world with evidence of human rights abuses, put faces onto a conflict, document the struggles and defiance of marginalized people, reframe how issues are discussed publicly, and provide opportunities for reflection and discussion. Moving Walls honors this work while visually highlighting the Open Society Foundations? mission to staff and?visitors.
Guidelines
Deadline for submissions to Moving Walls is Tuesday, February 26, 2013. To apply, go to:?apply.movingwalls.org.
