The DoggybagCrew shelter is excited to announce the 2nd edition of the diy Animal Liberation Exhibition 2025 & to invite antispeciesist creators of all kinds or collectives to take part in a 2-day event in Athens, Greece, happening at the end of October (exact dates to be announced).
Our 1st edition in November 2024, was a 3-day antispeciesist event that took place at the Migrants Social Center in Exarchia that brought together creators from around the world to take a stand for animal liberation & solidarity.
This year’s event will once again bring together voices of creative resistance from across the globe, uniting through art to confront oppression, ignite dialogue and imagine a world where all beings live free from violence and exploitation.
Through art, we aim to raise awareness of the intertwined systems of oppression that exploit & brutalize both human and non-human animals. From factory farms & slaughterhouses to borders, prisons & warzones, our struggle is against all institutions that commodify life, destroy freedom & silence dissent. We envision a world beyond cages, chains & confinement. A world of total liberation, where speciesism, capitalism, colonialism & patriarchy are dismantled through solidarity & radical action.
We are looking for: Visual Art (painting, photography, illustration, sculpture, collage etc), Zines & Books, Video & Film, Music, Tattoo Art that explore direct action, resistance, veganism, animal liberation, personal narratives or stories of activism, works that motivate, provoke & inspire.
