• Submit for 鈥淯NREAL鈥� SciComm Art exhibit through Oct. 31

  Thursday October 03, 2024
  

  Please consider this opportunity to create and publish art through Detroit Mercy鈥檚 second annual Science Communication Art exhibit, “UNREAL.” 麻豆APP, faculty and staff can submit applications through Oct. 31.

  This open call is looking for clever and evocative submissions that touch on topics like futurism, science fiction, inventions, fantasy, allegory/metaphor, challenging the impossible and dystopias/utopias. There will be opportunity to apply for funding. The exhibit will run for one week in February 2025.

  SciComm Art is an interdisciplinary form of expression that incorporates STEM topics, art and educational content. It includes all mediums and can range from more science-focused to more art-focused but always includes an interesting back story and engages audiences on an intellectual and emotional level.

  UNREAL. Extraordinary, Impossible, Nonexistent: this multiplicitous concept serves as a source of inspiration, a rallying cry, a warning and a tool of oppression. That which is unreal is limitless, but chipping away its edges has driven innovation, science and art for millennia.

  If you have questions, please email Maris Polanco at polancmc@udmercy.edu.
