Fabrics of Safety
Safety is something that everyone needs, many seek, and everyone has some kind of relationship with. Safety is sought in various things, including people, spaces, culture, activities, strength, violence, knowledge, faith, art, home, borders, substances, power, control, and love. The theme of the 2024 open call at the Gallery of the Finnish Museum of Photography is The Fabrics of Safety. Since safety consists of countless elements for both individuals and communities, its nature can be contemplated in many ways. What is safety and how is it formed? What is the relationship between the feeling of safety and reality and illusion? Can securitization ensure safety for everyone? There are countless ways to approach the concept of safety, and we hope that this year's theme will inspire creators to approach it in as many diverse ways as possible.
