Sensity Studio announces its annual open call for emerging women artists, this year centred on the theme Radical Joy. In a context where crisis often defines the present, joy is frequently the first thing we lose and the last we allow ourselves.
Radical Joy foregrounds the resilience of the human spirit, shifting attention from suffering to the transformative and often underestimated power of joy. This open call positions joy as a core force in contemporary artistic practice, not a decorative or secondary idea, but one that sustains resilience, creativity, and endurance in challenging times.
The open call welcomes work across all media that engages with joy, fulfilment, and emotional complexity, challenging the notion of joy as secondary or decorative. As Sensity founder Dina Mostovaya states: “finding joy is not indulgence but an essential force for strength, innovation, and survival.”
One selected artist will receive three months of PR support, direct access to the international art market with a focus on the UK and Europe, and inclusion in a group exhibition in Europe in 2026. Three finalists will receive portfolio reviews with curators and industry experts, offering valuable entry points into the contemporary art ecosystem.
