We, Paula Netzl and Lili Pick, the co-founders
of the association "HPV-Impfung jetzt!", are happy to announce an Open Call for artists/collectives of any nationality, gender
or age for an artistic project for an exhibition in Vienna on the topic of sexual health. Three project ideas will be chosen
and supported with € 1.000 each. (€ 500 production costs - including material, transportation, travel expenses, etc.; € 500
artistic fees)
Submissions can include, but are not limited to: painting, sculpture, photography, performance,
video, and/or installation. They should deal with topics around our theme of "sexual health". The production must be feasible
within a three month period from February to May, with support and assistance from our team if needed. Regular requisite progress
reports will facilitate open communication. An independent panel of artists, curators and sex educators will select the projects.
"HPV-Impfung jetzt!" is a nonprofit organization spreading awareness about HPV and STDs. Furthermore, we advocate for free
HPV vaccinations in Austria until the age of 30. Our team has an interdisciplinary approach which includes artistic strategies
of destigmatization and education. We are situated in Vienna and maintain a close relationship with the University of Applied
Arts Vienna.
