Objective
To carry out the sixth edition of “Tzompantli, Artistic Introspection 2025”, continuing the editions of 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, strengthening the reflective artistic community and promoting its work.
To allow artists who have participated in previous years to continue adding to their personal Tzompantli and reflect on their lives through their yearly contributions.
Guidelines
Mexican and international artists are welcome to participate.
Up to 3 artworks may be submitted per artist, though the curatorial team may select a maximum of 2 pieces per participant.
Participation is free, however donations to this self-managed project by Artestudio Austin are appreciated. You can donate using the button at: https://reflexionartistica.org
The medium of the artwork is open (any technique may be used).
Proposals may be submitted starting from the publication of this open call and until Wednesday, October 1, 2025 (11:59 p.m. CST).
Methodology
Through reflexionartistica.org, the artistic community is invited to create a piece (in any medium) reflecting on the year 2025, using a “skull” as the starting point.
Each artwork must be photographed by the artist in a “square format” and submitted as a .jpg or .png file. Selected images will be arranged in rows to form the “Tzompantli 2025”, representing a collective reflection on the experiences of the year.
Exhibition
- Must be created exclusively based on the figure of a skull.
- Can be made using any technique, but must be in “square format”.
- Once finished, the artist should photograph the work, retouch and/or crop the image. (It will be printed exactly as submitted.)
🛑 Important:
-
We reserve the right to exclude any works that were generated using Artificial Intelligence.
-
Priority will be given to artworks created through “traditional visual and plastic arts”, valuing human artistic sensitivity over automated digital processes.
Digital image specifications:
The image must be of at least 2500 pixels width and height in jpg or png format.
