project groundswell
Project Groundswell invites photographers and lens-based artists to submit projects on the theme of climate action. Project Groundswell is an opportunity to deepen understanding, amplify hope and inspire further action by making visible what is being done to address climate change.
What's the theme?
We invite artists/photographers to submit work that engages with any of the wide range of climate actions that are currently underway anywhere in the world. To give just a few examples, we welcome critical explorations of how individuals, grassroots movements or wider societal initiatives are tackling climate change by reducing carbon emissions, assisting circular economies, promoting biodiversity, exposing greenwashing, or enabling climate justice.
What approaches? In addition to documentary, independent photoreportage and socially-engaged practices, we also welcome more oblique, personal, diaristic or conceptual approaches. So long as the work is relevant to climate action, we want to see it!
Please note: Raising awareness about the effects of climate change is not enough. This Call is for photographic/video projects that make visible how individuals, communities or wider social groups are working to combat climate change.
