We are in the planning stage of our 3rd *Kickstarter* publishing venture, this time centered around *bicycles / women / emancipation*. And we are looking for a particular kind of contribution.
Conceived here, in Montreal, but with collaborators all over Europe and Americas, our two previous Kickstarter projects (here http://tiny.cc/3k4ymz and here http://tiny.cc/zl4ymz) were very much concerned with strong social issues - Spanish Civil War, women combating fascism and their role in resistance.
This new undertaking looks to bring together the utilitarian object that is the bicycle with practical paper-based artifacts, like calendars and playing cards. These two are then editorially balanced by a book, designed to celebrate the bicycle as a symbol and facilitator of the women’s emancipation movement.
Send us a cycling-inspired street-graffiti photo. Or multiple photos / of multiple graffiti, from your city walls, ideally including permission or, at least, the artist name, if known, in order to credit the work. Please specify which name you’d like to be credited to in your email.
We will integrate them in the calendar design, and will feature the name or image of the organization of your choice on the Kickstarter crowdfunding and our own social media platforms.
We will offer a generous number of free calendars for you to use as fund raisers. You also get an additional discount on the combo award (calendar - deck of cards).
You have until July 30th 2020 to send in your photos. Your contributions can be sent to:

Happy biking, happy shooting.
