Open Society Foundations Documentary Photography Project
Moving Walls 19
Application Guidelines
Overview
The Open Society Foundations invites photographers to submit a body of work for consideration in the Moving Walls 19 group exhibition.
Moving Walls is an exhibition series that features in-depth and nuanced explorations of human rights and social issues. Thematically linked to the Open Society Foundations’ mission, Moving Walls is exhibited at foundation offices in New York and Washington, DC and includes 6-7 discrete bodies of work.
Moving Walls recognizes the brave and difficult work that photographers undertake globally in their documentation of complex social and political issues. Their images provide the world with human rights evidence, put faces onto a conflict, document the struggles and defiance of marginalized people, reframe how issues are discussed publicly, and provide opportunities for reflection and discussion. Through Moving Walls, the Open Society Foundations honors this work while visually highlighting the mission of our foundation to staff and visitors.
For participating photographers, a key benefit of the program is to gain exposure for both the social justice or human rights issues they photograph, and for themselves as photographers. When the tour ends, photographers may keep their professionally-produced exhibition to use however they wish.
To view images from our recent exhibitions, please visit: www.movingwalls.org.
Areas of Interest
Since its inception in 1998, Moving Walls has featured over 100 photographers whose work addresses a variety of social justice and human rights issues that coincide with the Open Society Foundations’ mission.
Each Moving Walls exhibit includes six to seven distinct bodies of work that address issues or geographic regions where the Open Society Foundations are active. Priority is given to work whose subject has not been recently addressed in Moving Walls.
Listed below are some topics that are focus areas for the Open Society Foundations and about which we are interested in receiving submissions. Please note that photographers are welcome to submit their work for Moving Walls even if their subject area is not included on this list. All work submitted will be considered for exhibition. In addition to the focus areas listed below, please visit our website (www.soros.org) for a complete listing of priorities and programs.
Muslim communities in Europe
Women in post-conflict countries
Global pretrial detention (not United States)
Public health issues in Africa, including access to essential medicines, access to health care, palliative care
Climate change
Economic downturn in the United States, including the foreclosure crisis
Images that reframe mainstream media representations of African American men and boys
Detention of immigrants in the United States
Youth movements, especially political participation in voter registration, policy reform efforts, public education
Reconstruction and rebuilding in Haiti
Physical and mental disabilities in Eastern Europe or Central Asia, focusing on integration or inclusion
Political violence, especially in Latin America and Africa
Elections in Uganda and Nigeria
Who Can Apply
Any emerging or veteran photographer who has completed a body of work on a human rights or social justice issue may apply for Moving Walls. Work in progress may be submitted as long as a substantial portion of the work has been completed. We will accept any genre of photography that is documentary in nature and is not staged or manipulated. In addition, priority will be given to work that addresses issues and geographic regions of concern to the Open Society Foundations.
Seven portfolios will be selected based on the quality of the images, the project’s relevance to the Open Society Foundations, and the photographer’s ability to portray a social justice or human rights issue in a visually compelling, unique, and respectful way.
Moreover, Moving Walls values work by photographers who have a long-term investment in a community or issue. Photographers working in their home countries, women, emerging artists, and people of color are also encouraged to apply.
The Open Society Foundations does not discriminate based on any status that may be protected by applicable law.
Emerging Photographer Travel Grant
To support the professional advancement of photographers who have not received much exposure, an additional travel grant will be provided to select Moving Walls photographers to attend the opening in New York and meet with local photo editors and relevant NGO staff.
Recipients must apply for the travel grant after being chosen for inclusion in the Moving Walls exhibition. The grant is subject to the applicant obtaining the necessary visa to the travel to the U.S.
Recipients will be determined based on, among other things, prior international travel experience, prior attendance at workshops and seminars outside their home communities, publication and exhibition history, awards, and potential impact on their professional development.
Application Process:
Please go to http: //apply.movingwalls.org/ t o access our online application system. You will be asked to submit the following materials:
1) application cover page
2) a project statement* (600 words maximum) describing the project you would like to exhibit;
3) a short narrative bio (250 words maximum) summarizing your previous work and experience;
4) your curriculum vitae;
5) 15-20 jpg images
Optional materials:
6) Multimedia: Moving Walls has the capacity to exhibit multimedia in addition to (but not in place of) the print exhibition. A multimedia sample should be submitted only if it complements or enhances, rather than duplicates, the other submitted materials. The sample will be judged on its ability to present complex issues through compelling multimedia storytelling, and will not negatively impact the print submission. If you are submitting a multimedia piece for consideration, please post the piece on a free public site such as youtube and include a link. If the piece is longer than five minutes, let us know what start time to begin watching at.
*NOTE: The one-page statement is intended to give the Selection Committee a better understanding of the project. Non-native English speakers should describe their projects as accurately as possible, but do need not be concerned with the quality of their English.
Complete submissions must be received at the Open Society Institute-NY by 5pm (Eastern Standard Time) on Friday, April 1, 2011.
Review and Selection Process:
Phase 1: Applications will be reviewed and selections made by a committee of foundation staff and the exhibit curators, Susan Meiselas and Stuart Alexander. In evaluating the work, the committee considers the quality of the photographs and their relevance to the Open Society Foundations’ overall mission and activities. In addition, the committee aims to select a diversity of issues and geographic areas in order to avoid repetition of topics shown in recent exhibitions. To view images from our recent exhibitions, please visit:
www.movingwalls.org.
We tend to receive between 150-200 submissions each round. For Moving Walls 19, we plan to select seven bodies of work.
Phase 2: The selected photographers will be designated wall space and encouraged to visit Open Society Foundations offices in New York in order to meet with our curators and prepare installation plans. Please note that travel to our NY office is not part of Moving Walls payment and is not a requirement. Photographers who are unable to travel to New York may correspond with our curators by e-mail or fax and submit their installation plans electronically.
While curators work closely with photographers to determine an installation plan, final curatorial decisions are at the discretion of the Moving Walls curators and selection committee.
During this time, the selected photographers will be invited to apply for the Emerging Photographer Travel Grant.
Time Frame:
Applications are due by 5pm E.S.T. on Friday, April 1, 2011. To participate, you must be available to follow the exhibition schedule detailed below. Moving Walls 19 is scheduled to open on November 30, 2011. The approximate duration of the exhibition in New York is nine months. After the New York exhibition closes, the Open Society Foundations will select (at its discretion) a portion of the exhibition to travel to its Washington, D.C. office for an additional nine months.
Please note that, in connection with prior Moving Walls exhibitions, certain photographers have been asked to participate in subsequent exhibitions in Baltimore, Maryland (in conjunction with the Open Society Foundations office located there) and in New York City (at the Columbia University School of Social Work and John Jay College of Criminal Justice). Should you be selected, the decision to participate would be entirely yours and a separate agreement would be executed.

What is a memory? Something you have or something you have lost?
These words are part of a voice-over by Marion Post, the character played by Gena Rowlands in Another Woman, my favorite film, where Woody Allen pays tribute to Ingmar Bergman and Wild Strawberries. In both movies, the main characters reminisce about their lives during their last few moments.
At one point in the Woody Allen film, Marion explores a box with his mother's mementoes: photographs, books. The images come to life in his memory. And the book, a collection of poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, contains a page in which he discovers one of his mother's tears, dried and preserved on paper, at the end of the poem entitled, "Archaic Torso of Apollo": “For here there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.
I mention this because I feel it has a great deal to do with my relationship with writing, in other words, with the reasons that move my pen or my fingers on the keyboard when I link one phrase with another. I would go so far as to say that everything I have written is based on a photograph, a portrait that is the cornerstone of my existence.
I quote myself. I will now read a few words from La piel muerta (The Dead Skin), my first published novel, and I would ask you to imagine the portrait it describes:
I look at the photograph, the only one.
In the center of the photograph you can see the head of a sleeping baby, wrapped in a striped, pastel colored blanket: blue, white, yellow, white, pink, white and then blue again. A hand uncovers the face, the profile. You can see the baby’s closed eye, heavy eyelid, tiny nose, broad forehead, his temple covered by a translucent hair, with part of his ear. Above his head is a window, an open space beyond the image. A shaft of light illuminates the baby’s head and most of the blanket. That is where the spectator’s gaze falls and before that, that of the photographer, in this case, a ticket collector, not your father. The rest of the image, hidden in the penumbra, is protected by a veil of shadow. The hand uncovering the baby’s hand, my hand, is a woman’s. In the top left hand corner of the portrait, you can see a portion of her face, my face, barely lit by the reflection of the light that illuminates the baby, you. You can see a broad smile, my satisfied smile, and the smile produces an expression that can only be described as fulfilled. An eye, my eye, hidden under glasses with heavy black frames. The woman is wearing a high-necked, light woollen sweater. In the lower right hand corner, you can see one of her thighs, my thigh and a piece of pleated skirt. The arrangement of the features comprising the image –the baby’s illuminated head, the smile of the woman in the shadow, the idea of the space on the other side of the window- suggests that the train is traveling from north to south and from east to west. A keen observer would say, quite rightly, that the baby was just born a few days ago, perhaps a week ago. The woman, me, perhaps a couple of decades ago.
Then there is what the light does not show.
Although this photograph exists, it was not taken on a train: it was taken by my father in the cabin of an airplane that was taking us from San Antonio, Texas, to Mexico City. It was my first trip, so it was not an outward bound trip. Nor was it a return trip (although it was for my parents). It was, quite simply, a voyage of initiation. A trip that marked the start of an existence: mine as my parents’ child. I am adopted. My mother was never pregnant with me. But, as I say in the text I have just read, then there is what the light does not reveal.
If the image I describe in great detail in my first novel is so important for me, it is because it represents, both actually and metaphorically, a pregnancy. The cabin of the plane in which my parents and I were travelling is in fact a uterus. And as soon as the plane leaves and we disembark, I will be given birth to. How could I have avoided turning all this into a literary motif, or literature, how could I not have narrated it or revealed it as a watershed of an existence, mine?
The voice, the person who narrates and describes this portrait is the voice of a mother. The dying mother who lends meaning to The Dead Skin, whom her son visits and accompanies during her last days, during what becomes a long series of days of evocation and silence.
Who am I?
Where do I come from?
These questions are a sort of negative waiting to be developed and returned to its positive, obvious side. However, after taking a photograph, of emptying the camera’s contents, processing them in a dark room and turning them into a printed, experienced image, time has elapsed and, in the developed light, our eyes have changed.
What is it that light does not reveal? I ask now.
And I don’t say much more.
Let these words serve as an appetizer and give rise to a dialogue between a photographer, a writer and you, all gathered here together.

In just over a year, as a pure viral phenomenon, 17 million people have enjoyed Her Morning Elegance on Youtube. We would like to share with you and your community this tremendous pop-art phenomenon. Today it is the most successful stop-motion video ever. It has been screened at The Cannes Lion International Festival of Creativity, Le Hors Piste Film Festival, SXSW and The Los Angeles Film Festival. It has inspired the art community and in return gained a nomination in the 52nd Grammy Awards. The music video was created with 2096 still photographs that were shot and sequenced to create the sense of movement. Recently the artists have released The Making of Her Morning Elegance in order to better demonstrate process involved in the project. After transforming the stills into motion, the artists have decided to break the video down back into its original form. The stills have been exhibited in galleries worldwide and are now being offered for sale. These single-edition signed and numbered photographs are being offered directly by the artists through the Her Morning Elegance Gallery. We invite you to explore the gallery and own a piece of music and photographic history.

As Agent J whose identity was scratched out and re-booted in the 1997 Hollywood Blockbuster “Men in Black”, the men in this picture await for passengers whose identity, as far as they are concerned, is simply reduced to a name in a placard.
How will a driver actually know that the person they were supposed to pick up is the correct one? If all they have to go by is a name, what stops somebody else from coming along and simply saying “Hi I am Mr Clark”, for instance.
What is to keep someone with the exact same name being picked up by a driver and taken to a destination that is not their own?
I have to admit that I have had the temptation many times, had I had the needed time on my hands, to explore where such an adventure of taking on someone else's identity would lead me to.
The internet lends itself in a way to something akin to such an experience, with the added advantage that you can get out of this given adventure, at any moment you choose to. I for instance, never know if the person I am writing to in a chat or an email is who they say the are, or who I imagine them to be.
People tell me all the time about such dangers, being very aware of the ease to adopt a false identity in the internet, yet they acknowledge little of the fact that in real life we can easily be fooled as well, as it can be the case of the “Men in Black” in the picture above.
The funniest thing happened to me once. I was a the post office picking up certified mail when the man in charge asked me for a form of identification. In jest, I pulled out of my shirt pocket a passport picture I happened to be carrying around that day. The man took a look at the picture, glanced at my face, made sure I looked like the photograph, and then promptly handed me over the registered letter. He just asked me to a sign a form confirming I had received the piece mail. In a sense, a photograph of myself became prove of my identity.
I wonder how does any of this differ with the drivers picking unknown passengers at the airport?
Share with us your own stories of identity and photographs.

The Great Picture is a history-making gelatin silver photograph three stories high by eleven stories wide. The image was made using a shuttered Southern California F-18 jet hanger transformed into an enormous camera obscura -- the largest camera ever made. The Great Picture Project artists are Jerry Burchfield, Mark Chamberlain, Jacques Garnier, Rob Johnson, Douglas McCulloh, and Clayton Spada -- The Legacy Project.
This remarkable photograph is a marker of the border crossing as we move out of 170 years of film and into the era of digital dominance. The Great Picture was made using the oldest of image technologies -- a camera obscura. But within minutes of completion, the image leaped into pixel form and traveled around the globe. The Great Picture has been featured in hundreds of publications from art journals such as Art in America, Photographie, AfterImage, and Black & White Magazine to newpapers and periodicals such as the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Der Spiegel, and The Guardian. A major book is forthcoming. The Central Academy of Fine Arts is one of the China's leading art institutions and is housed in a new building designed by Arata Isozaki, an internationally known Japanese architect.

Result of the workshop by Mariana Rosenberg
In August 2010, I participated in the Eyes, Wings and Roots Project of CONACULTA (National Council for Culture and the Arts) by giving a children’s photography workshop for 16 boys and girls in Hueyotlipan, Tlaxcala.
For a week, the participants photographed their environment with analogous cameras every day. Teaching photography not as an end but as a means gives a child the tools to be able to discover the power of his vision and freedom.
By editing photographic sequences, they managed to create personal histories that discovered subjective ways of seeing in terms of a genuine visual narrative.
Each individual experience combines with collective work that makes it possible to find out about the social and cultural environment of a community.
For years I traveled throughout Mexico photographing various communities and attempting to move away from a folkloric, anthropological point of view. As a result of the teaching experience I obtained by giving workshops in Guelatao, I realized that the best way to get closer to a population through photography is by giving the locals cameras.

It is discouraging to read the figures about deaths, shoot-outs, arrestees and people that have been mutilated as a result of drug violence in Mexico. But it is even worse to constantly find images of corpses or body parts lying in pools of blood that look barely human or to listen to the news against a background of shooting and gun smoke. We could try to put events into perspective. We could use figures to show that wars are much more violent, that the number of deaths counted are always in addition to a vague number of missing persons and an increase in poverty due to the countless people that have had to move. However, one could say that the homicide rates are higher in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and many other Latin American countries or that drug trafficking is much more serious in the United States and Europe. However, it is impossible to get rid of the perception of constant danger and easy to give in to fear. But above all, it is worth stopping for a minute to wonder: Who profits from our fear and what role can photography play in this issue?
