The next edition of Wake up screaming will invite artists to respond to the theme “The Great Outdoors. The edition will celebrate the arrival of the Equinox and Spring, in the Northern hemisphere. We will celebrate the outdoors in all its forms: Nature, space, flora, fauna, walking, landscape, blossom, bark, bugs, exploration, discovery, learning, walking through doors and into the outside.
The aim of this edition is to encourage us to get out and about, away from our screens, exploring, learning, drawing on nature. We will take this opportunity to encourage outward, active, sociable activity after a winter spent hibernating and exploring inwardly. We won’t be asking too many questions, we will be simply be looking, listening, feeling and responding to the tos and fros of nature, observing the arrival of spring, and being inspired. It’s a theme of personal interest, but one I hope will stoke the creative fires and push us out into nature, or at least out of the front door!
