As part of the INA20 Meeting, February 2027 organized by the INA and the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, we invite you to participate in the art exhibition at the Museum of La Plata.
The exhibition centers on the concept of Deep Time and its ecological implications. From this perspective, nannoplankton emerges as a geopolitical actor: its organic remains, seemingly worthless, accumulated over millions of years alongside other organisms, gave rise to petroleum, a witness to past lives that industrial modernity transformed into a powerful fuel capable of controlling international markets and which today contributes to a new mass extinction.
The call for submissions invites scientists and artists working in the fields of paleontology, biology, and ecology to submit works that explore these relationships from scientific, speculative, imaginative, or poetic perspectives. The aim is to bring together different ways of representing life in the past and, through them, to reflect on the transformations of the present and their impact on the future.
Scientists and artists (both professionals and amateurs) from any part of the world and over 18 yo are eligible to participate.
The call accepts both individual works and those created collaboratively or in co-authorship. In the case of collective works, one person must be designated to handle registration and communication with the organizers.
Works will be accepted in any format, technique, or discipline, including, but not limited to, painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, scientific illustration, installation, audiovisual works, digital art, and mixed media.
Open Call: September 1st to November 30th
