Call Artists: Horse

Yang Collective invites artists to submit work for “Horse Around”, a group exhibition exploring the enduring presence of the horse in human consciousness.

The horse is everywhere. Across cultures, it appears as a carrier of gods, a relic of myth, and the primal force that moved the world into the modern age. They invite artists to share how the horse continues to fascinate, trouble, or resonate within their contemporary practice.
