LONDON / LONDRa
SUMBISSION CALLOUT
We are looking for 10 artists working in any discipline to submit work as part of our upcoming project LONDON/LONDRA. Whether you’re a writer, a visual artist, performer, or work in any other discipline, we’d like to hear from you! We are looking for work that engages with queer/migrant experiences in London.
Selected artists will receive a £75 honorarium as well as an opportunity to share their work during an in-person open mic at Queercircle, on 22 January 2023. All selected entries will also be documented in an upcoming zine. We are keen to receive submissions from queer and/or migrant artists, however applications from artists of any background are welcome.
GUIDELINES:
We want to keep these guidelines as open as possible to encourage artists from any discipline to apply and to receive exciting, outside-of-the-box ideas. As your work will be shared during an in-person event, we only ask that your proposed piece is no longer than 7 minutes and, if in writing, no longer than 1-2 pages (or 500 words).
Your work will also be featured in an upcoming zine. We understand that not all artforms can easily be adapted to this format, so we’re open to discussion on how we can best adapt your piece from one medium to the other.
LONDON/LONDRA is a curated weekend of free creative workshops and events exploring queer and migrant experience in London, hosted at Queercircle in January 2023. It is a provocation to reimagine urban life, belonging, and ideas of the ‘local’ by centring queer/migrant histories and experiences.
LONDON/LONDRA is inspired by Gabriele Uboldi’s digital piece of the same title. You can have a look at their work for some inspiration: www.london-londra.com

CALLOUT: ASSISTANT RESEARCHER
We are seeking an Assistant Researcher and Assistant Curator to join the team of THE BUTTERFLY PROJECT in interrogating: what the hell we do with Madama Butterfly?
If you are interested in both positions, please do apply to them both separately.
We are looking for a researcher to help us to investigate the history of Puccini's Madama Butterfly and specifically how this intersects with Asian identities and the use of yellow-face.
The Assistant Researcher will conduct one week’s worth of research to be presented on the week commencing 6 February 2023 in collaboration with the rest of our team to inform the R&D of a new theatre show. This show, currently titled THE BUTTERFLY PROJECT, seeks to explore the politics of Asian representation in opera and specifically in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly.
DEADLINE: 6 January 2023
