A call for international curators with an interest in developing a collective experimental exhibition at the IEFC is open. The proposals sent must be conceptual and not be linked to specific artists, since the curator will work with the materials of the festival participants themselves. These exhibitions seek to be counter-exhibitions, exhibitions that question the content, format and form of the exhibitions themselves. General conditions:

​

. El space proposed for the exhibition is in the IEFC. It will open during the festival and will remain open for a month.

​

. The jury is made up of the festival management and workers who will accompany the curators in their work process. Their decisions are final. The selection will be carried out following four criteria in order of importance: 1) gender equality; 2) novelty regarding the proposal; 3) ability to carry it out; and 4) diversity of techniques and concepts in all areas of experimental photography.

​

. The theme is completely free and will be developed from the material sent by the festival participants.

Those selected will be provided with:

. A maximum of 500 euros in the production of work, of the exhibition or in the transport of the same;

. A ticket as a gift as a festival participant without workshops (with a value of 100 euros);

. The official merchandising and the lunches;

. Participation in a conference on experimental exhibitions.

​

. ​The selected ones have to commit to being in the city of Barcelona to carry out the assembly on Monday, July 17 morning, or before, and stay until the festival closes. The technical team of the festival will accompany the assembly but it must be done and it is the responsibility of the artist.

​

. The people registered for the festival and their companions will be able to access the official accommodation of the festival which has an individual cost of 240 euros for 6 nights, much cheaper than other accommodations in the city.

​

. More than one project per person can be presented but each must go as an individual request. Group exhibitions or creative groups are accepted.

​

. The exhibited works are not on sale.

​

. Upon being accepted as curators, they will be sent a mandatory signature contract with the conditions stated here and other details. This contract will stipulate the form of payment and the transfer of image and intellectual property rights.

​

. Enrollment in this call is final, the documents sent cannot be modified and the money for it will not be returned for any reason.

​

. In addition to exhibitions, curators can propose workshops and conferences or they can be invited by the festival to perform them.

​

. The results will be communicated individually by email from February 15.

​

. The sending of the proposal has a cost of 20 euros.
