The call reads the present moment through the resurgence of aut horitarianism\, fascism\, militarisation\, colonial violence and extractiv e capitalism\, and the parallel privatisation of care and criminalisation of solidarity. Drawing on María Galindo's framing of feminism as a projec t of social transformation and Sara Ahmed's account of feminist work begin ning with refusal\, the programme treats alternative ways of living as som ething rehearsed collectively through organising\, creating\, caring\, lis tening\, remembering and struggling. VBKÖ seeks a programme of practices that nurture communal care and build a platform for collective rehearsals: proposals that allow for tenderness\, that are not afraid of ugly feeling s and different truths\, and that explore how contemporary queer and femin ist perspectives resonate across artistic\, social and political movements . FORMAT REQUIREMENT: only exhibition formats bringing together multiple a rtists\, collectives or collaborative practices are accepted. Solo exhibit ions\, individual presentations and projects centred on a single artist's work are explicitly not supported. Proposals that activate the exhibition through public programming (screenings\, performances\, workshops\, lectur es and other events) are encouraged. Regular opening hours are Fridays and Saturdays 2pm to 6pm\; any additional hours must be arranged and staffed by the selected group. The association acknowledges that its own history i s marked by violence\, exclusion and discrimination on the basis of religi on\, class\, gender\, sexuality and ethnicity\, and states that it activel y opposes all forms of discrimination including trans-exclusionary radical feminism.
