[ecrea] Memefest - call for participation

Memefest is currently calling for submissions from writers, artists, 
students, activists, designers and anyone else who is interested.



Memefest has been running since 2000, originally in Slovenia and for the 
last two years in Brisbane. This year we will be hosting it here in 
Melbourne at Swinburne. You can read more about Memefest here 
[http://www.memefest.org/en/about/what_is_memefest/ ] (you need to click 
the OK button, top right corner, to allow the site to use cookies or it 
won’t work properly – don't worry – we won't datamine you!).



This year’s theme is Radical Intimacies: Dialogue in our times. The call 
for works can be viewed here [ http://bit.ly/WbQwVg ]. You can read the 
theme parameters in more detail, see the texts we hope will inspire 
participants to enter and view each of the separate catergories:



Visual Communication Practice

Critical Writing

Participatory Art/Communication - 'Beyond...'!



The competition culminates in a symposium, workshops and interventions 
to be held over eight days in November in Melbourne.



We are particularly keen to identify students, professionals and 
academics who can submit work to the festival and that can take part in 
the face to face event in November. You can see student feedback from 
previous events here:

We are in the process of preparing posters for this year’s event. Let me 
know if you would like some. And please pass this information on to 
anyone you feel might be interested in being involved.



If you’d like any more information or want to find out how to get 
yourself and your students involved, please let me know! Email:
