Summer 2024 Show

with juror Dominique Muñoz

The Curated Fridge   /   Deadline: 06/15/24

The RefrigeCurator of the Summer 2024 Show is Dominique Muñoz, a visual artist whose photographs are grounded in environments reminiscent of his childhood memories. In his practice, he works with photographs, wallpapers, printmaking, and performance. His work explores themes of cultural assimilation, family, memory, and the mysticism of his Mesoamerican ancestors. He received his BFA in Photography & Film from VCUarts and is currently an MFA candidate at UNC-Chapel Hill.

The Summer 2024 Show will travel to Candela Books + Gallery in Richmond, VA and will be exhibited during UnBound13! from July 5 to August 3.

Deadline: June 15 (postmarked mail)

Theme: Altered Memories
Altered Memories refer to memories that have been changed, distorted, or modified. While photographs are often perceived as objective records of reality, they also can shape and revise our understanding of the past. For this open call, I want to see how photographers have utilized this power to alter, manipulate, and reinterpret memories through their images.

Photographers can navigate representation, identity, and memory in their work, shaping narratives that resonate deeply with viewers. I'm interested in how photographers navigate these themes within their images.

- How do you utilize photography to reconstruct and reinterpret memories?
- In what ways do you challenge or perpetuate narratives through your images?
- How do you capture and convey the impact of memory and identity in your photographs?
