Mythography vol. III: Diana, Minerva and Ceres
Exhibit Around APS and dotART Cultural Association launch a new photographic open call on the occasion of the third volume of the Mythography publishing project.
The project
Mythography is a series of photographic volumes freely inspired by Greco-Roman mythology. Published annually, each volume is dedicated to a group of divinities who represent their themes.
Each volume corresponds to photographic exhibitions, meetings and special guests within the Trieste Photo Days international photography festival.
The third volume of Mythography will focus on the themes represented by the deities of the Greco-Latin pantheon Diana, Minerva and Ceres.
The theme
Diana, the goddess of the hunt, the moon and the forest. She will represent the themes of nature, animals, landscapes (man-made and not), generation and birth, lunar landscapes.
Minerva, warrior goddess and patroness of intelligence and the arts. She will represent arts and crafts, artisanship, weaving and garment making, products of human ingenuity, weapons and armies (no war reportages).
Finally Ceres, goddess of fertility and agriculture. She will represent the themes of agricultural life, men and animals, but also that of famine, death and rebirth of vegetation and otherworldly happiness.
For who is it for
To photographers from all over the world interested in submitting single photos , but also projects and portfolios freely inspired by the themes of the second volume.
Following a selection, the candidate photos could be exhibited in a major international exhibition within the Trieste Photo Days.
The photos
Each author is free to infuse the works with his own stylistic code and to choose the type of photography that is most congenial to him. You can submit photos for multiple themes.
Le foto singole e/o i progetti/portfolio candidati devono essere ispirati a un tema a scelta tra quelli rappresentati dalle divinità Diana, Minerva e Cerere.
Single photos and/or projects & portfolios must be inspired by a theme chosen from among those represented by the divinities Diana, Minerva and Ceres.
To get inspired - the deities
Diana
The goddess who stubbornly remains a virgin, refusing sexuality and union with the male. Her realm is the mountains and natural spaces, where she makes happy raids together with the wild creatures of which she is protector and hunter at the same time. She therefore represents the dimension of nature as opposed to the civilized world of men.
Minerva
She is the daughter of Zeus, and since her birth, which according to the myth takes place directly from the head of Zeus, she escapes the sexual dimension of procreation. She is a warrior deity, represented with a shield and spear, but at the same time she is the patroness of intelligence and the arts, and of all human activities that take place in the urban context.
Ceres
The goddess of fertility, guarantees men the perennial renewal of the crops and the possibility of exploiting the earth's resources. She is the mother of Proserpina, a goddess who is kidnapped by Hades and taken to the underworld; for the pain of the kidnapping she causes a terrible famine that threatens to make men disappear, until Hades brings Proserpina back to earth, at least for part of the year, establishing the cycle of the seasons
