Call for Hexagram-ELEKTRA 2023-2024 projects

Deadline : April 8, 2023

This year, Hexagram network and ELEKTRA are jointly launching a call for projects for women, trans, non-binary and queer artists, who are members of the Hexagram network. The selected projects will be part of the ELEKTRA Gallery’s programming in 2024.

Since its opening in 2019, the ELEKTRA Gallery’s mandate is to create a space for aesthetic and discursive research through digital art production. Located in the heart of the Mile-End, it has become a major support and dissemination center for the artistic community. In this context, the Hexagram-ELEKTRA partnership aims to encourage exchanges between the cultural and academic communities in the field of digital arts.

Other exhibitions at the outcome of previous calls include an artwork by Cristo Riffo [Hexagram student member, Concordia University] which will be presented in the next ELEKTRA gallery season. In 2022, Slow Track by Timothy Thomasson [Hexagram student member, Concordia University], and in 2021 Exploration.135, Transatlantic Vision. by Juliette Lusven [Hexagram student member, UQAM].
