How do we honor the roots we’ve carried across oceans, and the ones that grew in the cracks of a new land?

This is an open invitation to the Asian diaspora—for the parents who carried their traditions in suitcases, and the children blooming in the light of those shared stories. Whether you are preserving an ancient ritual or creating a new family language, we want to see the vitality of your journey.

We invite artists from across generations to explore the vibrant ”interstices“ of Asian migrant life—the beautiful space between what was brought over and what is being born anew.

Focus: Family lineage, rituals across borders, and living memory.

Medium: Open to all (Visual, Text, Sound, etc.)

01 May 2026 Institute of Machine Unlearning - Love in the Times of Surveillance Capitalism

Many aspects of everyday life now pass through algorithmic infrastructures: mapping services, archives, apps, datasets, and platforms that continuously record and process information. While these systems are designed for data extraction and analysis, they sometimes unintentionally capture moments of our relationships.

This open call invites small traces of affection, care, grief, or memory that have become embedded in digital systems.

Send your tender moments, stories, fragments, screenshots, poems or images from the edge of the machine documenting moments where human relationships become entangled with algorithmic infrastructures. From apps and datasets to archives, platforms, or automated imagery.

The collected materials will be assembled into a collectively authored zine.

10 May 2026 Everyone is a Girl - theme: gloss / glossolalia

We’re looking for writing that thinks through the politics of the surface and the forms of excess that the internet both produces and fails to contain. That can come from anywhere, art history, film and moving image, music criticism, cultural anthropology, sociology, new media research, critical theory, curatorial practice. Essays, auto-theory, close readings, experimental writing, hybrids, and forms that don’t have a name yet.

15 May 2026 Lip Service Issue #6 - Vagina Museum (Zine)

What does it mean to read art—not as image, but as language? And what if language itself is unstable, embodied, coded, or even resistant to being read at all?

For our next issue of Kunstlicht, we are looking for submissions that address the historical, situated, embodied, and fractured conditions of language in art, moving between theoretical and philosophical perspectives that situate particular linguistic and cultural ruptures, and artworks that test the limits of language as a tool.

25 May 2026 Another Gaze Journal - Call for writing

https://www.anothergaze.com

Another Gaze, founded in 2016, is a journal of film and feminisms. Our aim is to publish writing that engages in thoughtful and rigorous ways with film culture, past and present. We have historically focused on feminist approaches to film criticism, and remain committed to that project while also broadening our scope to address wider questions of cinema and politics.

Once a printed journal, we now aim to publish three issues a year online. We feature longform essays and criticism, sometimes experimental in nature…

Another Gaze is particularly interested in:

  • Writing that takes the temperature of the current moment
  • Well-researched essays about a filmmaker (to be understood as anyone involved in the making of a film) or filmmaking collective
  • Essays on recent restorations that provide historical context
  • Commentary/critique on festivals/other parts of the industry apparatus
  • Longform book reviews

We are still unfunded. We work on pieces over the course of months and several drafts. Payment ranges from 150 – 400 GBP, depending on word count.
