Organ Vida, as a FUTURES member organisation, is launching an open call for artists to join the platform in 2025. The call is open to emerging and mid-career artists working in photography and video, as well as hybrid practices that explore the relationship between images and sound, sculpture, or spatial expansion, such as installations or performances.
The open call is open to citizens of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Slovenia, and Albania. Through this open call, five artists will be selected.
FUTURES is a European Photography Platform that brings together the global photography community to support and nurture the professional development of emerging and mid-career artists worldwide. Each year, these organisations nominate a group of artists to join the platform and co-host a series of events designed to enhance the artists’ capacity, mobility, and visibility.
Selected participants will have the opportunity to engage in diverse online educational activities and apply to internal open calls for exhibitions and mentorship programmes hosted by member organisations. In 2025, all selected artists will attend one live event (the Annual Event), where they will have the chance to connect with the FUTURES community in person. Additionally, all selected artists will be promoted through the FUTURES website, social media channels, and the printed annual publication.
Each selected artist is required to participate in all mandatory online activities and attend the final live event (Annual Event) in September 2025 (exact location and dates to be confirmed). Organ Vida will cover travel, accommodation, and daily allowances for participation in the final event, along with a gross honorarium of 500 EUR for full participation in the project.
