ZOZOBRA II

ONLINE (INTERNATIONAL)

Suture Zone is proud to announce the second call for art for the on-line exhibition Zozobra II.

The level of anxiety is growing, as western leaders are increasingly undermining democracy, rupturing the rules-based international order, and provoking a global shift toward fascism. The prospect of another world war is palpable. This call is for artists to step up and fulfill their duty as harbingers of truth and guardians of cultural history against the growing threats of totalitarianism and environmental destruction. 

Join a movement of socially conscious artists reacting to and documenting the global push toward authoritarianism, dictatorships and fascism and the effect it has on individuals, groups, societies and all life on earth.

Zozobra is a Spanish word for distress. 

The term embodies the existential anxiety emerging from the uncertainty and ambiguity generated by the confluence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the political events of Trump's 2016 presidency, the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and now Trump's second presidential term in 2024.
