To our SAMASAMA family, friends, and collaborators - AKA OUR COMMUNITY:

Like many of you, we needed to take time to process the progressing situation of COVID-19, but we are even more adamant about the importance of SAMASAMA.

Epidemics have historically perpetuated tension against and between people of color and immigrants, resulting in ‘xenophobia’ and racism within the diaspora community. The time now is more important than ever. This is a CALL FOR ARTISTS whose work has a greater impact than they ever realized. Through this shared global experience, albeit, an unfortunate one with many unknowns, there is no better opportunity than now to come together and celebrate through creative mediums. This is a call AGAINST fear and frustration.

The reality of our annual May exhibition is unclear, however, we are moving forward in accepting submissions. SAMASAMA dates are TBD and we will announce them as soon as it is deemed safe for us to gather once again to celebrate one another. For now, please plan on creating art that we can display virtually, be it visual or aural art.
