Submit Your Work!

Since we are up and running again, we are following up our Rebirth issue with a fitting theme as well: The second issue by this board will be centered around the theme Movement.

As “Movement” can cover a broad variety of meanings—including but not limited to literal movement and travel, to sociopolitical movements of freedom and resistance—we encourage everyone to be as creative and experimental as they would like.

Please submit your work before May 6th, and see below for the requirements and information.

Or listen to the playlist the board made to accompany our earlier issue! Each member added a song that they think fits the theme. Stay tuned for a ‘Movement’ themed one!
