Call For Artists*
_*Connect!
*_* Exploring the Complexity of Diaspora
*
The UN mandated *University for Peace (UPEACE)* is calling for
submissions from emerging artists (less than 6 years of professional
experience) for a group show from *October 18*^*th* * to 23*^*rd* . The
exhibition will explore the complex notion of diaspora, its multifaceted
characteristics whether it is observed from the country of origin or the
host country. As a catalyser for cultural, political, social and
economical dynamics, diasporas have the capacity to be both tools for
peace and tools for conflict. This dichotomy will be examined by
emerging artists using different media to provoke and stimulate the
public dialogue on diaspora.

*Connect!* is conceived as an inspiring and provocative companion to the
High Level Expert Forum, /*Capacity Building for Peace and Development:
Roles of Diaspora*/, being organized by the International Centre of
UPEACE in Toronto on October 19 and 20^th 2006. This exhibition will be
the second high-profile event in Toronto organized within UPEACE=92s
programme on Creative Arts & Peacebuilding. After the success of
Dislocated: Anger (t)here, the first exhibition organized during
Creativity Unleashed, as part of the city-wide Humanitas festival,
UPEACE has gained confidence in the potential of the arts to enhance and
provoke the dialogue on conflict and peace. Some of the artists featured
will be invited to participate in a panel discussion along with leading
diaspora experts to debate the complex notion of diaspora and its
potential to contribute to sustainable peace and development.

*Application deadline is August 10*^*th* *.
*
Selected artists will receive:
- Exhibition fee
- Installation costs
- Multimedia documentation of the exhibition which will be disseminated
worldwide to selected contemporary arts forums and within the UN system.~

Submissions should include:
- Resume with full contact information
- Digital images
- Artist statement
