Liverpool Arab Arts Festival (LAAF) is inviting artistic proposals for their 2022 festival. The festival will be held in July 2022, marking twenty years since the first Liverpool Arab Arts Festival was held in the city.
Whether in Liverpool or online, LAAF works with Arab artists who are living and/or working in the UK, in an Arab country or within its communities, or identify as having Arab heritage.
As a festival, they work with artists across a range of artforms, including: music, performance, theatre, literature, spoken word, visual art and more. Proposals can be in any of these artforms. Outputs can include live or digital performances, events, artworks, exhibitions, workshops, public realm works, talks, panel discussions or young people’s activities. The theme for the 2022 festival is Language.
The call is open both to commissions of new work and presentations of existing pieces. LAAF can support travel fees, but the budget is limited – so a large group of artists with international travel would not be appropriate.
