Material Gallery is pleased to launch an open call for Grief Work, a multidisciplinary project inviting artists to explore grief as a layered, communal, and transformative experience. Rather than treating grief as singular or linear, Grief Work understands it as something that unfolds across time, cultures, bodies, and artistic practices.
We invite submissions that engage grief in its many forms—personal, collective, ancestral, societal, and ecological. We are particularly interested in work that approaches grief not only as loss, but as process, ritual, memory, resistance, care, and transformation. How do we hold space for pain? What forms does mourning take? How might art witness, express, or metabolize sorrow?
Grief Work emerges at a moment of profound cultural urgency. As communities navigate collective trauma, environmental loss, displacement, and intimate personal grief, this project offers a space for reflection, connection, and shared meaning. Rather than seeking resolution, Grief Work centers grief as something to be witnessed and honored.
Co-curated by Molly Heller, Colour Maisch, and Jorge Rojas, selected artists will be presented in a group exhibition at Material Gallery from March 6–April 10, 2026.
