Open Call for Miracle Stories

Ex Voto - Miracle Story # 1 by Clayton Campbell

"When our first child was born, I just never, never had imagined or had any idea what it was really like, to see a human being arrive in the world. And it was miraculous."

Have you ever experienced something extraordinary?

An event, a vision, a moment of transformation — something that felt impossible to explain? A shift that changed your world in an instant, left you in awe, or filled you with gratitude?

We want to hear your story!

We’re inviting people from all over the world to anonymously share their personal miracles. Whether it’s a miraculous recovery, an unexpected turn of events, or a moment of deep spiritual awakening, your story can become part of Making Our Miracles, a global collaborative art project.

Here’s how it works:

  • Tell Your Story: Share a brief description of your miracle, big or small. What happened? How did it feel?

  • Add a Visual (optional): You can also upload images that connect to your story — a cherished photo, a symbolic object, or a personal memento that captures the essence of your experience.

These stories and images will serve as inspiration for a cohort of international digital artists. Using artificial intelligence, they’ll reimagine your miracles in stunning works of contemporary art, weaving your personal experiences into a larger understanding of collective wonder.

About Making Our Miracles

Making Our Miracles is a public art project initiated by Lead Artist Clayton Campbell and Curator Cansu Peker. Together they have conceptualized Making Our Miracles that will ultimately present a series of contemporary digital ex voto art works created by a cohort of international artists. By using AI-assisted technology in a unique participatory project, it brings together storytellers with artists who will evoke their stories with the transformative potential of AI-generated art, video, and sound.

Digital artists Clayton Campbell, Emi Kusano, Cari Ann Shim Sham*, Gzhenka’s Fun House, Stacie Ant, Vince Fraser, and Lasergun Factory will interpret real-life miracle stories submitted from around the world, using AI-assisted tools to transform personal moments of grace into shared visual narratives.

The virtual exhibition launches November 1st, 2025, as part of The Wrong Biennale. Subscribe to our newsletter for updates and exhibition access.
