XENOVOID — Mapping Distributed Identities
London Exhibition Open Call for Artists, Theorists, and Practitioners

SPIRA9 ART invites you to participate in XENOVOID— Mapping Distributed Identities, a forward-thinking exhibition that examines how individuals construct, deconstruct, and reimagine their sense of self in today’s decentralised world.

About the Exhibition

In an era where technological innovation, social interaction, and creative expression continuously reshape who we are, this exhibition serves as a dynamic forum for exploring the evolving tapestry of identity.

Drawing inspiration from transformative texts such as A Cyborg Manifesto, critical frameworks like Decolonial Feminism, and pioneering artistic experiments by figures like Stelarc, and initiatives such as the Third Ear Project, XENOVOID probes the interplay between the digital, the embodied, and the political.

Key Themes

• Technological and Biological Convergence: Investigate how digital interfaces and bodily interventions redefine traditional notions of self.
• Fluidity of Identity: Explore the continuous processes of deconstruction and reconstruction influenced by cultural, social, and political forces.
• Decolonial Perspectives: Reimagine identity outside of established power hierarchies, drawing on feminist critiques and decolonial practices.
• Interdisciplinary Experimentation: Embrace diverse methodologies that challenge conventional narratives of a fixed, singular self.
