Magnum Foundation Fund: US Dispatches

This fall, Magnum Foundation is supporting several short-term visual projects responding to the social and political issues surrounding the US elections. We are seeking proposals by community-based and innovative visual storytellers that will provide expansive perspectives on this critical moment in US history. Some potential areas of exploration, though we also encourage photographers to submit stories on other topics that they see as relevant to their communities:

-Voting access and voter suppression
-The eviction crisis and voting
-Disenfranchisement and criminal justice
-Immigrant, refugee, diaspora communities and voting or organizing
-Movements for racial justice
-Community responses to police violence

Dear friends AMP:

In these days was released the new album Arquitextura (architexture) 2.020.

A project that breaks with what has been done so far. Travelling for contemporary music, exploring the sounds landscape by Murray Schaffer and updating experiences with design sound.

Fourteen tracks on that mixture arquitectonic constructions, artificials or naturals.
