I'm raising £5000 to help launch a festival of contemporary art events and activities, organised under Palimpsest Projects
Organised by Gina DeCagna
Story
I'm Gina DeCagna, the founder/director and first curator of Palimpsest Projects CIC! We're a new not-for-profit curatorial platform dedicated to rewriting human stories. We create contemporary art exhibitions, literature, and cultural events that connect people across geographies, ideas, and experiences.
We want to pay our artists for sharing their significant ideas and artistic work. If you also value creativity and their storytelling skills, consider contributing to our fundraising campaign.
100% of donations go to artist fees, transport, and installation expenses, among other things artists need.
Join us in #rewritingstories with new voices and evocative visual artworks. Check our website www.palimpsestprojects.org to learn more.
My hope, through Palimpsest Projects, is to begin a really important and critical conversation about conceptual and material notions of layering, mapping, erasing, and rewriting practices. How the tangible and the intangible interact with each other. Through art, we can bring these important conversations into the eyes, ears, and hands of the public, so that anyone can try to understand or relate to the ideas and feelings that the artists are putting forth."
When you contribute to our campaign for Palimpsest Projects, you are helping us build a platform that's sustainable. You're helping us sponsor the full, adequate, and fair payment that an artist deserves just as much as any worker in any other profession deserves. You are also committing to our need for including and showcasing artists who simply haven’t gotten enough eyes on their work before, because society has had different social barriers."
