Open call for Artists & writers
Issue 62
We’re seeking artists and writers for our next online exhibition and publication themed
“Pushing Boundaries.”
This open call invites work that engages with the concepts of boundaries in all their forms - physical, mental, conceptual and virtual.
BOUNDARIES can take many forms.
They state where one thing ends and another begins. They act as separators and define a border.
They can be implicit or clearly defined. They can be legal, part of a code of conduct, expected, geographical, emotional, conceptual and political.
They can change over time and evolve.
Sara Ahmed writes in "Strange Encounters" about the many types of borders, which include skin, neighbourhoods, culture, fear, and belief systems.
There are some borders we can control and others we cannot.
For this open call, we seek art and writing that explores how to push against borders in all their forms.
Deadline: 3rd July 2025
Who Can Submit?
This call is open to artists across all visual media (painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, etc.) and writers working in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, or hybrid forms. We encourage experimental, boundary-pushing work that brings fresh perspectives to the theme.
