The Invisible Archive (TIA) is now accepting proposals from writers/artists for the Berlin Volume.
As a creative research journal, TIA is committed to creating a dialogue that investigates how ideas on performativity and embodiment complicate and inform the conventions under which art is made, shared, and understood. We encourage textual interventions crossing disciplinary boundaries and welcome writing praxis that combines creative or art writing with critical scholarship working at the intersection of feminist & queer studies, critical race studies, decolonial studies, philosophical inquiry, or political economy. We’re looking for authors who write in English or German.
For each TIA journal issue, a new author is invited to critically explore, shed light on and give testimony to the work of an artist/collective of their choice through an essay (ca. 3000-4000 words) and an interview (ca. 3000-4000 words). Your work will be published as the next Berlin Volume, Issue No. 3 and available to order online as well as at selected libraries and bookshops in Los Angeles and Berlin. Please see the journal mission statement on our website. The writer will receive compensation for the work. Proposals can be submitted in English or in German.
Please submit
A 1-page proposal text, which includes the following: Who do you want to write about and why? What topic or question will guide you to reflect on the artist/collective of your choice? -
A link to your website (or a bio, max. 100 words)
A link to one previously published writing (if you have not published a writing before, you can submit 1 writing sample)
Deadline: April 18, 2021 Submissions and questions to invisiblearchive@gmail.com
