   |
Entries are now open for creative women to exhibit or display their stories, art and soul work exploring the theme of
Ancestral Connections.
Where have you come from?
How have your ancestors influenced who you are?
What is your Ancestral Story?
ANCESTORS, GODDESSES & EARTH CONNECTION
From the beginning of time……..we all belonged to mother earth……what’s your ancestral story?
Our ancestors have come before us passing on wisdom through bloodlines, stories and art. They have followed us here in spirit now. They live on in the rocks, streams, stars and moon, in the myths and stories we tell our children. Gods and Goddesses, mothers and daughters. from the mists of time to everyday reality. We all have a story to tell. How will your spirit be remembered? What will we become?
|
We are after work that shows heartfelt expressions of the daily reality of women’s lives or intimate imaginings of mythological earth connections. A $250 art prize will be awarded to the work that best demonstrates the theme of ancestral connections with passion and emotive expression.
Categories may include photography, video, sound, performance, poetry and written stories, journals and scrapbooks, craft, weaving, needlework, jewelry, sculpture, drawing, painting, belly casts, clay work and spiritual artifacts.
