Open call for participation in the triennial Extravagant Bodies:
Extravagant Love taking place in Zagreb, Croatia in September of 2019.

The Extravagant Bodies triennials deal with boundaries between the normal
and the pathological within domains of our lives such as corporeality,
appearance, behaviour, sexuality or life style. The festival examines
social, political, cultural and economical positions, norms and identities
by dealing with liminal, excessive, extravagant bodies and minds which
disrupt society's structures.

In 2019 the focus is on Extravagant Love. The artistic show and tell will
portray love from the emotional to the sexual; from the platonic to
corporeal lust. Love, in all its varieties and manifestations, has been the
subject of countless histories, philosophical ponderings and scientific
mysteries. Constantly changing and being challenged over time, love is
shaped by culture and society - which in turn shift our understanding and
practices of love.

We are looking for artistic provocations, creative stimulations,
investigations and research into all that love can be, in all its
complexities, extremes and varieties - from the wildest romances to
troubled and dark deviancies, from orgasmotrons to biopolitical control
mechanisms.

The festival will engage the audience into visceral experiences, hosting
extravagant displays of affections, interpersonal (dis)connections and new,
hybrid - earthly to interstellar - forms of loving and love-making, leaving
no one untouched.


The call is open to all individual artists, collectives & lovers.
