Open Calls
The “Periphery” fanzine project is coming to Skåne
Would you like to have your photographic project published as a fanzine? We are now selecting twelve photographers to produce fanzines with this autumn. The project is an initiative to support and showcase the breadth of photography in Skåne. This is a continuation of the Periphery project, which was initially carried out in the Västra Götaland region in 2021.
In connection with the completion of the publications, which will be presented in a joint box, we will be organising three different book releases in the region during the autumn. All zines will be included in collections at libraries and institutions that are central to photography. They will also be available for sale via our webshop.
If you have a project idea that you want to develop this summer and present in a fanzine during the autumn, this is the platform for you. As a participant in the project, you also have the opportunity to participate in workshops focusing on book production. A fee of SEK 2,500 will be paid to each photographer.
The jury consists of Annie Lindberg, acting director of Skissernas Museum in Lund, Thomas Millroth, art critic with a great interest in Artist’s Books, Lisa Olausson, graphic designer focusing on printed form and exhibition design, and Mia Bengtsson Plynning, national coordinator at the Center for Photography.
