OPEN CALL | DRAWING AND PHOTOGRAPHY INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT (DPIC) | 2026

Call for entries | Coming soon (June - October 2026)

We invite students, emerging architects, artists and visual thinkers to take part in DPIC 2026, which this year explores the theme (Dis)Placement. Participants are encouraged to begin reflecting on the questions that will shape this edition.

This open call welcomes exploratory works that reflect on contemporary space and the images through which we understand it. Through drawing, photography or other visual forms, participants are invited to observe, question and interpret spatial conditions, sharing perspectives that reveal new ways of seeing and imagining our built environment. Projects may emerge from individual explorations or from ongoing work developed within design studios or related courses, and the theme may also serve as a starting point for discussion and experimentation within academic contexts.

Submissions should consist of a visual diptych accompanied by a short manifesto text. The diptych - composed of two images - may take the form of drawings, photographs, collages or other visual formats that together express an idea, question or position related to (Dis)Placement. The manifesto should briefly articulate the intention behind the images, giving voice to the participant’s perspective behind their work.

Full call details and submission guidelines will be released in June 2026.
OPEN CALL: (DIS)PLACEMENT

(dis)placement

In a world shaped by forced mobility, housing shortages, gentrification and territorial instability, (dis)placement cannot be understood solely as a physical condition. It is also a critical position from which to question how space is lived, represented and narrated. It brings into focus the social, political and economic forces that generate both attachment and exclusion, visibility and invisibility, continuity and rupture across contemporary landscapes.
OPEN CALL IS NOW CLOSED | THANK YOU FOR YOUR APPLICATIONS | "EXPLORING CONTEMPORARY REALITIES"
