ABOUT:
The Pensacola Museum of Art at the University of West Florida invites artists to submit photographic and moving image-based work to the digital exhibition, DocuFlorida, which will be projected at the Pensacola Museum of Art and simultaneously screened at Pensacola Voices Multicultural Center. DocuFlorida is focused on the current environment and landscapes of Florida, the Gulf Coast, and the Southeast Region of the U.S. The exhibition is intended as an iteration of Documerica, the photographic documentary project that was sponsored by the Environmental Projection Agency in the 1970s. Established, emerging, and nascent artists and image-makers are welcome to submit.
Submissions can be photographs or film and video, and should attend to the environment, and rural and urban landscapes of the region. We are seeking works with an interpretive lens that addresses the socio-cultural and socio-spatial conditions of natural and built environments of our larger region, which is deeply informed by river systems, gulf waters, and their associated industries and economic enterprises. By zooming in on a coastal and local level, we hope to share this point of view with global communities at large.
Documerica documented the environment as framed by larger systems of change. DocuFlorida aims to explore similar conditions with a focus on the local. Consider your spaces and send us your images. What landscapes shape your lives? How do you shape and/or interact with those landscapes? How do you manage these social, environmental, and economic shifts in hue and saturation? How might you capture abstract or defined choices that are made within your environments? How does the camera mediate these environments and our perceptions the exterior world?
Established in 1971, the Environmental Protection Agency hired more than 100 photographers to document specific issues and interactions with the environment. In a time of political uncertainty, deception, and intrigue, North America’s land and waterways suffered from neglect. Through photographs, Documerica became a project of investigation to fuel a movement for change, and a vital archive of our mutable environment
