INTERNATIONAL SALON OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Last Update: 29 May 2021
Senses Cultural is a charitable non-profit organization seeking to use ideas and art on a global level to build a network of national and international artists and researchers who present work that transcends borders to their audiences. Tapping into innovative ideas, Senses Cultural invites the participation among artists and researchers to institutionalize the groundwork needed to achieve its goal of raising awareness about autism and neurodevelopmental disorders. In this process, Senses Cultural aims to focus on the two areas, including on individuals dealing with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders and on impactful women in society despite gender challenges who promote the health of communities dealing with autism and neurodevelopmental disorder. To this end, Senses Cultural strives to use all artistic, scientific, medical and intellectual avenues available to it to shed light on these areas.
Senses Cultural will hold an inaugural World Photography Competition, in order to take a step toward recognizing the work of those who help the organization achieve its goals in these two areas, by opening new pathways for researchers, scientists, and charitable individuals. We invite artists to create work to help us reach this milestone.
