Open Calls

We are excited to announce Shirin Neshat as the guest editor for Issue #16.

Shirin Neshat works with highly poetic and politically charged images and narratives that question issues of power, religion, race, gender and the relationship between the past and present, East and West, individual and collective through the lens of her personal experiences as an Iranian woman living in exile.

Shirin Neshat invites you to submit work that responds to a line from the poem “Common Love” from Persian poet Ahmad Shamlou:

"I am a common pain, scream me!"

We look forward to receiving your submission by May 25th.
