Open Call: Giant’s Soap Dish

Fresh Salad has paired up with artist and curator Holly de Looze to present Giant's Soap Dish, our next physical art exhibition. The exhibition will showcase artwork relating to the healing effect of being within nature, and relationships with natural environments from female/non-binary perspectives.

English scholar, Robert Burton believed “the best remedy for melancholy was a change in one's environment; he recommended traveling, varied landscape and an overlook of the horizon... Burton's prescriptions recommend that patients head for the shore, believing that the shock of submersion in cold, salty and turbulent seawater was beneficial for health.”
