Small acts are often overlooked—quiet gestures, subtle resistances, daily rituals, moments of care, or fleeting decisions that have a ripple effect.
They may be personal or political, intimate or communal, intentional or accidental. Together, these acts shape how we move through the world and how the world changes around us.
This open call seeks artworks and written pieces that explore the power, poetry, complexity and nuance of small acts:
acts of kindness, refusal, repair, or attention; everyday gestures that carry meaning; minor interventions that produce lasting impact; quiet moments that resist spectacle and small acts that have changed your art practice

Description
Time heals all wounds, and in time, may even bring flowers to bloom from them. Yet the true force that nurtures these flowers often springs from the small kindnesses around us—a word of care, a hand extended, a moment of understanding. They arrive softly, yet take root deeply, allowing life in its eternal cycles to remain faithful to a resilient and steadfast heart. Thus, even the gentlest act of kindness becomes a quiet miracle, ever-recurring in the rhythm of life.
