Are you a creative who wants to make some noise? It’s time to Roar! 

We started out as a calendar and we have produced films, coffee table books, limited edition prints, and an art exhibition.  

As we become Barefoot Man, we want to keep producing art that challenges how we curate the male body in contemporary culture.  

We are calling our cultural programme the Barefoot Roar, and we would like to hear from you if you have ideas on how we can create dynamic new content that repositions the male body as a response to the objectification of women and as an authentic call for change. 

If you are a creative who makes work about men, we would love to hear from you.  And not just photographers!   

Perhaps you are a performer, or a writer with a monologue that needs to be performed.   

You might like to draw from life – as an expert or as a beginner.  

And we’d love to hear from experimental video makers and conceptual artists.  

Perhaps you are a curator who would like to programme Barefoot Roar into your cultural space? 

All of us who have already joined the Barefoot Roar as creatives agree that it feels great to become part of a project that wants to change how the world looks at men.    

As a small non-profit, we have limited resources to fund new content, but you can always ask! And we will do everything we can to promote your work on our platform.  We know how hard it can be to make yourself heard.  

If you would like to submit work for publication or ideas for consideration, please write to [email protected].
