Call for Entry: "No Titles" Photography Exhibition
We invite photographers to submit their work for our upcoming exhibition, "No Titles." This unique show challenges the conventional narrative framework by removing titles from the equation. The images will be presented without labels, allowing them to resonate purely through visual impact, emotion, and the viewer's personal interpretation.
Theme:
The absence of titles encourages a raw, unfiltered connection between the viewer and the artwork. We are seeking photographs that speak for themselves, evoking thoughts, emotions, and stories without the influence of words. The imagery should be compelling enough to stand alone, transcending place, time, and explanation.
