The **Biennale College Teatro** call out, an integral part of the 2025 artistic project, is an opportunity for hypothesis and discussion, a space constantly open to encounters and experimentation, in a process that can involve scholars, spectators and enthusiasts. A veritable factory of ideas on the possibilities of theatre: languages, codes, techniques, technologies and science of the stage are the guidelines for a systematic verification entrusted to tutors who are professionals in the field.

  
In addition to the chosen workshop, participants will be invited to take part - depending on their course and their stay in Venice - in scheduled activities, which will be subsequently communicated in detail to the selected participants, together with their daily course timetable.

Biennale College Teatro Workshops

For centuries now, the close relationship between art and science has offered new prospects in exploring and understanding reality through a dialogue that combines the observation, analysis, reflection and expression of human experiences, a dialogue that promotes new creative and experimental approaches to the investigative processes.

  
In the era of technical reproducibility, the use of photographic or video media and new technologies has become a fundamental practice in the development of artistic practices: starting from the Dadaist experiences, throughout the pop art period all the way to the contemporary artistic phenomenology, we have important testimony that confirm an increasingly closer link between art, technology and science.

  
An important shift in the field of research has occurred with the advent of photography, as with it the approach to scientific , historical, geographical and anthropological documentation has changed, elaborate systematic methods of cataloging have been developed, and these contribute to the creation of new visual and informative aesthetics by which contemporary artists are influenced.

Independent & Image Art Space (Chongqing, China) is happy to announce a group exhibition open call “Urban Landscape”.

  
This exhibition open call for submissions aims to explore and present the diversity and complexity of modern urban environments through the unique perspective of photography. We invite artists to focus on the multiple facets of urban spaces, including their form, structure, and transformation, capturing a range of scenes from bustling streets to quiet corners, and from modern architecture to historical landmarks. Through these works, we seek to showcase the physical characteristics of urban environments while delving into how human activity shapes these spaces, reflecting societal changes, cultural diversity, and the interplay of individual emotions.

  
Photographers are encouraged to capture seemingly ordinary urban moments, conveying a visual language filled with tension and rhythm. These images will invite the audience to reexamine the everyday elements of the city, uncovering the subtle emotions and meanings often overlooked in the details and imagery. In doing so, artists will not only showcase the external forms of urban landscapes but also reveal the dynamic relationship between humans and the city through photographic language, reflecting the cultural depth and continuous transformation of urban life.

  
This exhibition aims to provoke deep reflection on urban environments, presenting not only their physical transformations but also exploring the underlying social, cultural, and emotional layers. Through these visual works, we hope to uncover the subtle connection between humanity and the urban landscape, examining the multiple dimensions of the city as a microcosm of society and culture.

**Selected artworks will be printed (Epson giclée print), framed by us and shown in the group exhibition in April 2025 at Independent & Image Art Space in Chongqing, China, along with:**

  
* Chinese-English bilingual online feature on our website;
* Chinese-English bilingual digital catalog;
* Chinese-English bilingual promotion on Chinese and international social media.

Urban Landscape International Exhibition

Architecture is a physical manifestation of a civilization’s consciousness—woven from the spiritual, the historical, and the imaginal. More than mere structures, it unfolds meaning, where form and essence are inseparable. The world’s imperfections invite imagination; without them, there would be nothing left to create. In this space, architecture becomes a dialogue between what is seen and what is hidden.

  
Kahf Magazine welcomes submissions that engage with architecture beyond its material dimensions. We invite essays, poetry, paintings, photography, calligraphy, and other forms of visual art that explore the presence of the sacred in built space, the language of symbols, and the relationship between place and identity. Essays may approach these themes from various perspectives, including history, theology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and others.

  
Let architecture be read as one reads scripture—line by line, symbol by symbol, unveiling meaning through its form.
