The Festival that connects the Aegean landscape and nature with Audiovisual Arts, Little Islands Festival (LIF) is addressing an open call towards all artistic communities experimenting with hybrid artistic practices at the boundaries of the performing and digital arts.

LIF 2022’s new open call through the theme “Communality” places artistic creation at the core of Community to trace the meanings and representations of community life in space, place and time. Drawing on contemporary art and digital media, the artists are invited to create, inspired by community practices of coexistence with the environment, collective archetypes, collective wisdom and memory, thus highlighting unseen histories of communities in Greece and the world at large.

LIF 2022 is looking for proposals in the following categories:

• AV Performances,
• Music | VJs,
• Interactive Installations,
• Video Art | Animation | Silent Films with live soundscapes,
• Virtual Reality,
• 3D Projection Mapping –suggested location is the cycladic abandoned house that dominates the square of the settlement

Special emphasis will be given to artistic proposals with live art interventions and works that propose the experience of participation. LIF’ s open call also offers an opportunity to execute Site Specific projects which engage with and utilize the local cycladic culture as well as bring aspects of the Cycladic communities to life through new technologies.

The selected proposals will be presented at the 4th edition of the Little Islands Festival (LIF) in the Cycladic settlement “Castle” of Sikinos in August of 2022.
