Call for Submissions: Provocations #4

JMCCCP is delighted to welcome special guest provocateurs Deborah Cheetham, Arnagretta Hunter and Scott Ludlum to The LAB on Light Square/Wauwi for Provocations #4: Radical Hope on 28 April 2022. 

When Pandora released the evils into the world, hope remained in the jar. Is hope another evil, or is it a fool’s game, or a necessity? Was it being withheld from us, or preserved for safe-keeping? For Emily Dickinson, hope was ‘the thing with feathers – That perches in the soul.’ For Nietzsche, hope was ‘the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.’ Are we suffering from a global hope shortage? When all the news is bad news, where can we find it?

The Call for Submissions is now open for creative provocations of an artistic/literary/musical/multi-media/cross-disciplinary nature, no longer than 10 minutes, on the theme 'radical hope'. To have your provocation considered for the program, please send an abstract (max. 200 words) and bio (max. 100 words) to jmcoetzeecentre@adelaide.edu.au by COB 31 March 2022. 

Selected provocations may be published by the Sydney Review of Books. 

Provocations is kindly supported by the Hackett Foundation.
