Non-Conformity is the only real passion worth being ruled by“
-Julian Assange-
We are looking for artists who will actively campaign for the release of Julian Assange and use their art to draw attention to the fact that this important topic affects us all.
The freedom of Julian Assange is the freedom of all of us.
Art is much more than just creating something beautiful. Art also has the task to reach bring attention to people to critically diverge our time
and bring them together. So be with us and draw a line and set a sign.

After the deadline, our curators begin the selection process. At this point, we ask that all inquiries about the open call be sent exclusively to the email address given here in the open call. Please refrain from writing to the curators on their private social media channels, this makes the organisation process more difficult and ties up unnecessary time that we would like to invest in the exhibition itself.
When our curators have selected the artists for exhibition, the artists will be informed personally by e-mail and a announcement will be made on our website, naming the artist.
The Open Call is open for applications from February 23, 2022 to May 20, 2022

The works must then be sent to Salonrogue, Lösniger Str.46 04275

care .
The works can be offered for sale by the artist. The

Please allow us some comments on this important exhibition. The exhibition is not intended to serve individual artists‘ need for profiling. The theme of the exhibition is the most important goal, not the artist. We therefore expect artists who apply for a place in the exhibition to ignore their own interests and use their availability on social media to draw attention to the topic. Thank you very much, and we hope you join us soon.
