JUST LIVING

SUBMISSIONS rules:

SHARE a story with a visual from when you felt you were present and JUST LIVING. Describe it viscerally, through each of your senses so we can re-live this core memory with you. Imagine you are writing a postcard from the past to the present, sharing the details of this unforgettable memory. Tell us what it felt like, describe the surroundings, the smells, the temperature, who you were with, where you were, the year, the time of day, and most of all why this this moment is memorable for you. Share it with a word, a sentence, or a paragraph. This is a practice of reflection, creativity, and storytelling.

IMAGERY: Each image will be printed in a postcard style. Please send a file that is large enough for clarity. (Please feel free to contact me with the details of the size. If your file is smaller and blurry, we will do our best to make it work )

AUDIO: You can also submit an audio recording of your story. This will be shared as part of the exhibition experience.

HOW to submit: Send to email jennifercloutier11@gmail.com via standard email or WeTransfer.

INTENTIONS :

To curate a collection of stories and visuals that will be shared online with the global community. As well as an in-person exhibition in which the local community can connect and be a part of. It is an intention to celebrate & share the stories from around the world, the human experience of being here.

EXHIBITION: In person this fall 2024, I will curate the JUST LIVING project for the community to connect and participate in. Each photo with the corresponding story will be hung to be viewed.

ONLINE: Social media, and website platforms. With your permission, each of these submissions will be shared for the global community to read and enjoy. They will be presented on Instagram, Facebook, and The Flaneur Way website, Jennifer Cloutier.com This will be an ongoing share from the date it opens and onwards.

INCLUSIVE :

The Flaneur Way proudly stands behind inclusiveness, authenticity, and creativity beyond any barrier or border. We welcome submissions from all ages, all walks of life, locally and globally, all demographics, nationalities, you, them, and everyone.

INSPIRATION :

The JUST LIVING project inspires the act of true authenticity and expression, rather than how well it is written or how good the story is. So I invite you NOW to dive into your archives and journals to find this core memory to share with others. It can be from your travels, or everyday moments on your own, with friends, or with family. It can be simple and mundane to extraordinary. This is your story, your journey, that THE FLANEUR WAY is looking forward to celebrating with the world.
