Forms of Stillness

Stillness is not the absence of movement, but a different way of listening.
In a world shaped by speed, noise, and constant production, this exhibition invites a pause—a moment to breathe, observe, and remain.

Forms of Stillness brings together diverse artistic practices that explore calm, suspension, waiting, and presence. The works speak of inner landscapes, quiet gestures, subtle transformations, and moments where time seems to slow or stretch. Stillness appears here as resistance, refuge, reflection, and renewal.

Across mediums, the artists engage with silence not as emptiness, but as a space charged with meaning. Each work offers an invitation: to linger, to look closely, and to experience what unfolds when we allow ourselves to stop.

At Lakritz, stillness becomes an encounter—between artwork, place, and viewer.

Life does not unfold in straight lines. It shifts, breaks, adapts, and continues—marked by error, contradiction, and change.

Imperfect Evolution brings together artists who explore imperfection as a fundamental condition of existence. The works reflect on life as it is: unfinished, fragile, resilient. Imperfection appears in nature’s irregular rhythms, in the human body and psyche, and within political, social, and economic systems shaped by imbalance and uncertainty.

Rather than seeking resolution or perfection, the artists embrace fracture, process, and transformation. The exhibition understands evolution not as progress toward an ideal, but as a continuous negotiation—between growth and loss, repair and collapse.

In these works, imperfection is not a flaw to be corrected, but a space of truth, resistance, and possibility.

CALL FOR ART

Deadline: 15 July 2025

Matter of Being

In celebration of Women’s Month in South Africa, Lakritz the Magazine invites contemporary women artists from around the world to submit work for a special digital feature titled “Matter of Being”, to be published in August 2025. This curated 3-page spread seeks to highlight female perspectives on identity, presence, and the experience of being — in all its complexity, beauty, tension, and strength. All visual mediums are welcome: painting, drawing, textile, photography, installation, digital, performance (still documentation), sculpture, and more.

We particularly encourage submissions from South African women artists, where underrepresentation in the art world remains a pressing issue. While this phenomenon is global, it is even more pronounced in Africa due to specific historical and cultural factors. This feature aims to amplify women’s voices and visibility within and beyond our borders.

Submission Guidelines

• Eligibility: Open to all women-identifying artists worldwide
  What to send:
• Up to 5 high-quality images of your artwork (JPEG, 300dpi)
• A short artist statement (max 200 words)
• A brief bio (max 200 words)
• Subject line: Submission – Matter of Being

Selected artists will be featured in Lakritz the Magazine, distributed digitally across South Africa and internationally, with the aim of celebrating and uplifting women’s voices in art.
