What does it mean to revoke?

Revocation is going against the grain and is an act of creation, in which something is dismantled so something else can emerge. REVOKE invites artists to contemplate this word and everything it evokes: resistance, rebellion, transformation, anger, liberation, rupture, memory, desire and reinvention.

What do you revoke?

What do you refuse to accept?

What do you reclaim?

What needs to be undone?

We invite artists working with photography to submit up to 15 images responding to the theme REVOKE. Selected works will be curated by @lindazhengova into a punk exhibition in:

Melbourne - October 30th - November 1st, 2026.

There are no restrictions on interpretation. We are interested in personal and unexpected responses to the word.

Submission deadline: September 20th, 2026
