Looking for a place to share your work?My Tribe is the perfect opportunity for you to submit audio, video, stills and text on the web.
The Theme is 'my tribe', and you can interpret this in any way you like! Explore issues that revolve around community, like identity, belonging, groups, exclusion.
Here is the 'official' description:
The idea for the exhibition comes is based on the ideas of philosopher and anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss, whose seminal work explored the complexities of kinship, mythology and identity, we re-examine this notion of community and self.In the flesh or via technology the kinship groups we belong to form across intersecting fault-lines in our lives – blood, place, interest, time, happenstance and more.
Enmeshed with our sense of self, those we belong to and who belong to us construct, deconstruct, teach, reflect, know or perhaps don’t know us at all.
Explored subjectively or objectively the theme of ‘my tribe’ taps into mythmaking and storytelling traditions along with the rationality of survival and the darker implications of drawing a line in the sand between ‘us’ and ‘them’."
