Open Call: Third Space Is a Verb International Juried Exhibition

Li Tang Gallery is pleased to announce an open call for submissions for the upcoming online exhibition, Third Space Is a Verb. This exhibition invites artists to reconsider identity not as a fixed place, but as an ongoing action. Moving beyond conventional understandings of diaspora as a condition of in-betweenness, the exhibition explores how identities are continuously constructed, negotiated, and transformed through memory, language, movement, labor, and material practice.

They welcome artists whose work engages with hybridity, cultural translation, migration, belonging, and the creation of new forms of identity. Li Tang Gallery is particularly interested in works that approach identity as a process of making rather than a stable condition, where experimentation, resistance, adaptation, and transformation become active forms of cultural production.

Artists at any stage of their career are invited to submit their work for consideration by a distinguished jury consisting of Matilda Berke, Oorja Garg, and Abhishek Tuiwala. Selected works will be featured in an online group exhibition curated by the Li Tang Gallery team and promoted through their website, social media platforms, and international outreach channels.
