📢 OPEN CALL | Rooted — A Common Ground with No Outside Presented by MaTa Art Collective Curated by Gabrial Jiao
We are pleased to announce the open call for Rooted — A Common Ground with No Outside, an exhibition exploring how "nature" is represented, maintained, and experienced within the contemporary city.
Rather than treating nature as a distant landscape, this exhibition considers it as something embedded in everyday urban life—shaped by maintenance, infrastructure, and human intervention. Inspired by Merleau-Ponty's understanding of the lived world, we invite artists working across all media to respond to the spatial rhythms and ecological conditions of The Art Pavilion, Mile End Park.
📍 Venue The Art Pavilion, Mile End Park, London E3 4QY
🗓 Exhibition Dates 10–16 November 2026
⏰ Application Deadline 15 October 2026
💷 Participation Fee Early Bird: £90 (payment made before 1 October 2026) Standard: £100
