[Sfts-students] CFP from Marquette University's Haggerty Museum

[andré carrington]

An exhibit at Marquette University's Haggerty Museum of Art calls for fan
works!

*Affirmation/Transformation: Fandom Created*
<https://epublications.marquette.edu/fandom/Affirmationtransformation/>, an
exhibition of fine art pieces and the fanworks inspired by them, will run
from August 23rd through December 22nd, 2024, at Marquette University’s
Haggerty Museum of Art <https://www.marquette.edu/haggerty-museum/>, as
well as online. This exhibition considers “creation” as the line between
casual enjoyment and fandom. Fans are not passive; fans create. Fans from
any and all fandoms are challenged to create fanworks inspired by both
their fandom and one of 14 fine art pieces from the Haggerty’s permanent
collection. Visitors to the museum and to the online version of the
exhibition will be able to see submitted fanworks displayed digitally
alongside the fine art pieces hung in the gallery, and will be asked to
consider whether the fan creations are affirmational or
transformational—that is, do they affirm the fan object as it is, or
transform it into something new?
Fan submissions for Affirmation/Transformation: Fandom Created are being
accepted now, and will continue to be accepted through the close of the
exhibition (December 22, 2024). In order to be on display in the gallery on
opening night (August 23, 2024), fanworks must be submitted by August 1st.
All types of fanworks are welcome, as long as they are submitted digitally.
Sound will be available to be played in the gallery (fanworks will be
displayed on tablets with headphones attached).  For more information, visit
