05 Mar 2026 Workshop: Editor Wannabes’ Club - Qilu Criticism

Delving into the affective dimension of editorial labour within contemporary art discourse, this workshop is organised around a collective lexicon-making exercise. In response to prompts prepared by Qilu, participants will discuss their experiences of editorial work: Is the impulse to ‘edit’ driven by a sense of dissatisfaction? What makes editing an invigorating process, and at what point does that same energy become exhausting? How could editorial work embrace doubt and uncertainty, when the editorial gesture so often implies the necessity of resolution? What does an alternative form of editing – one that allows space for uncertainty, questions, vulnerability, and differences – look like?

Through these conversations, participants will identify key terms and write up lexical entries that capture the nuances of editorial practice. These entries will form the foundation of the Lexicon of Editor Wannabes. Initial entries will be drafted during the workshop, and the project will continue through a process of collective writing, editing, and revision in the following weeks, culminating in a work-in-progress presentation in May.

Submission fee is waived for activities proposed by individuals.

06 Mar 2026 The Hajar Book of Waves - Hajar Press

We’re seeking submissions from writers of colour of short pieces of writing for The Hajar Book of Waves, the second volume in our elements anthology series.

This Water-themed book will explore the waves that carry, connect, renew and shape us: the ebb and flow of history in a non-linear continuum, a call-and-response between the past and the future; the gushing surges of empathy and feeling that move and enliven us; the fluid psycho-spiritual processes that help us adapt and change; the cycles of action and reflection that keep our organising alive; the mass movement of people in protest and migration; and the irrepressible force of the cosmos guiding the earthly tide. We’re interested in writing that engages with waves as both material and metaphor—flowing and flooding, soothing and overwhelming, refreshing and eroding; the rhythms and repetitions of perpetual back-and-forth motion; the power of water refusing to stagnate.

We’re now open for submissions of short stories, poetry, essays and everything in between showing radical imagination, creative experimentation and sharp political engagement with the world around us.

08 Mar 2026 Call for participants for the Emerging Critics Project 2026: Queer East, London

12 Mar 2026 The Journal of Architecture - This IS Architecture. Notes from the Field*

Deadline: rolling, across 2026 and into early 2027. Reviewed on a rolling basis.

In 2026, as it marks thirty years of publication, the Journal of Architecture invites contributions to ‘This IS Architecture. Notes from the Field’: concise, rigorously framed reports and reflections that document how architectural research, and research on architecture, becomes public through events and practices around the world. We seek situated writing that shows why a given event or practice is timely where it happens, how it speaks to the climate emergency and related socioeconomic and ecological crises, and in what ways it sets trajectories for research, pedagogy, policy, or practice. Rather than asking whether something is ‘architectural’, the strand asks what kinds of practices, events, and inquiries matter for the ways we inhabit and organise space. ​ A ‘Note from the Field’ is short-form and accessible, yet grounded. Authors are encouraged to write from participation or close observation, to foreground local actors and knowledges, and to articulate stakes and implications with clarity. We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, educators, collectives, curators, activists, policy workers, and community partners. Notes may emerge from exhibitions, installations, design studios, field schools, research projects, public programmes, policy processes, activist work, or situations where architectural knowledge – including that which emerges outside conventional boundaries of the discipline – is produced, contested or mobilised.

15 Mar 2026 Symposium: Time to Listen – Multispecies Creativity in Music and Sound

We are seeking contributions that engage with the theme of Multispecies Creativity in Music and Sound.

15 Mar 2026 CFP: The Self at Scale - Workshop @ ICI Berlin, Bard College Berlin

Autotheory, autofiction, and related genres, such as auto-sociobiography or mythobiography show the interplay between theorizations of personal life, subjectivity and historical or collective experience. This workshop explores the history of these forms, and is interested in their genealogies, as well as in the politics and aesthetics of subjectivity, especially in the moments when these practices have intensified.

15 Mar 2026 CFP: Maps and the Imagination - Special Issue, Imago Mundi: The International Journal for the History of Cartography

By exploring the map-imagination nexus, this issue engages questions ranging from the practical to the philosophical: What do maps do for acts of creativity, and conversely, what does the imagination want from maps? How do maps help making and knowing imagined selves and communities? How does the image, rhetoric, and materiality of maps influence creative practices, be it for imagining social and political contexts, or for texts creating compelling stories ranging from classic epics and romance fiction to fantasy novels and climate fiction? How do methods and theories of historical cartography and forms of imagined thinking complement each other? How have the materiality and technology of mapmaking informed imagined subjects and subjectivities, and conversely how do expressions of the imagination allow us to rethink the nature of maps?

23 Mar 2026 CFP: Journal of Architectural Education - 80:1-2 - The Future of Architectural Education

This double issue of the Journal of Architectural Education will celebrate the core mission of the JAE: advancing architectural education through thoughtful analysis, critique, and reflection. We are calling for papers, projects, and articles that address the future of architectural education. This comes at a critical moment. Higher education faces many challenges, including declining domestic and international student enrollments, eroding public support, rising economic uncertainty, and increasing student debt. At the same time, architectural education confronts a number of related concerns, such as reduced student demand, challenges to equity and sustainability efforts, expanded support for alternative paths to licensure, shifting expectations on the part of students, and rapid advances in disruptive technologies affecting the profession and the building industry.
