"EROSIONS SHOWS" is an international traveling Open Call event to stop the "erosion": from the erosion of our rights and liberties to the erosion of our memory, our history and our cultures, from the erosion of the world heritage to the erosion of local knowledge, biodiversities , ecological and cultural diversities, and, day after day, of the erosion of the peace and the freedom in the world.

Format of Images

We will need them at 72x72 dpi, possibly in jpg or png format (jpg is limiting but fits fine into a virtual gallery).
Our rule of thumb is that to have a virtual gallery that most browsers and
connections can deal with, the bulk of every image should be not above 30/35 Kb For a full-colours jpeg, this means usually that the width and the height of the picture are below 300/400 pixels.
