Expanding Horizons

On the 50th anniversary of the Earth Day on April 22nd, the AA launched an open call for submissions of drawings that depict the earth today. At a time when the planet is united in the experience of combatting the COVID-19 pandemic, we are physically separated while digitally connected. How does this impact the way we visualise Earth as a whole? From the Cantino Planisphere to Buckminster Fuller’s dymaxion map to one of the oldest maps - the Bedolina Petroglyphs - we image the Earth as a way of better understanding our identity and relationship to one another.

Use this form to submit your drawings by Friday 1 May: https://forms.gle/Kd5YPK8B981hGG6L7

Your drawings should be 500x500mm in size with 300dpi and not exceeding 10mb each. Please ensure each of your files are named in this format: Firstname.Lastname.Drawingname. Each participant can submit up to 5 drawings.

A selection of the images submitted will be exhibited in the AA Virtual Exhibition Gallery.
