PMF’s Annual Open Call: Individual Freedom & Autocracy
The Peter Moennig Foundation (PMF) invites artists, thinkers, and creators to submit works for its annual open call, exploring the complex and timely themes of Individual Freedom and Autocracy.
This year, we seek submissions that reflect on the tension between personal autonomy and authoritarian control, examining how these forces shape society, individual identity, and artistic expression.
We welcome works that critically engage with the balance or clash between individual rights and governmental or institutional power. How do we navigate freedom in an increasingly controlled world? How do autocratic structures impact creativity, and what role does art play in resisting or reflecting on these forces?
Artistic Fields: We encourage submissions across a wide range of disciplines, including (but not limited to):
- Short Film
- Sculpture
- Installation
- Painting
- Performance
- Photography
- Video
- Textiles
- Sound Art
- Visual Arts
- Printmaking
- Drawing
- Architecture
- Agriculture and Social Design
- Digital Art
- Design
- Dance
- Applied Arts
- Sociology
- Start-ups
- Ecology
- Chemistry
- Biology
There are no restrictions on the materials or methods used, and we are open to innovative approaches to content and presentation.
Submission Guidelines:
- A description of the work (in English)
- Digital or audio-visual material representing your submission
- CV(s) of the participant(s)
- Please ensure your submission is in a digital or audio format, as
the online format of this open call favors these mediums.
Deadline: October 1, 2025
Submissions should be sent to: petermoennigfoundation@gmail.com
Note: The Foundation reserves the right to showcase submitted works on its Facebook and Instagram pages as part of the project.
We look forward to discovering how you interpret these vital themes and invite international artists to participate!
