Winnipeg Jewish Theatre invites visual artists to submit work for Ctrl + Alt + Delete: Jewish Perspectives in the Digital Age.

‍

About the Exhibition

As we prepare to present Max Wolf Friedlich's gripping contemporary thriller JOB The Play, we're seeking powerful visual art that explores the intersection of technology, identity, and human connection in our digital age.

‍

Themes We're Exploring

JOB The Play delves into the complex realities of modern life where the digital and physical worlds collide. We invite artists to explore themes including:

• Digital Identity & Social Media
• Technology's Impact on Mental Health
• Work Culture & Burnout
• Surveillance & Privacy
• The Dark Web of Human Behavior

‍

What We're Looking For

We encourage both existing works and new creations that speak to these themes. Whether you've explored cyberpunk aesthetics, digital collages, commentary on social media culture, or reflections on screen-mediated life, we want to see your perspective on how technology shapes our humanity.

‍

Submission Details

Who Can Apply: Seasoned and emerging Jewish visual artists in Manitoba. This is a curated exhibit, and therefore not all works will be selected.

Medium: 2D artwork that can be hung on walls with proper installation (if you are unsure whether your work is eligible, please contact us before submitting)

Limit: One submission per artist

Deadline: August 10, 2025
