Commonplace Journal: re-imagining alternative realities beyond human-centred realities

Our aim is to co-create a playground of ideas that challenge our notions of every day through writing, imagery and video.

The Anthropocene is defined as the epoch where human impacts shape the geological aspects of the world. This altered landscape has infected our imagination, where our imagination can no longer entertain a world where human actions are restricted for the sake of all species. This lack of imagination is what Commonplace Journal is aiming to tackle, by creating a space where reimagining is possible.

Can we reimagine the world as it is?

Submissions:
We are open to several submission formats:

For written work, the suggested word count is between 500 and 2,500 words for finalised projects. For the purpose of the open call, we ask for an abstract of 200-500 words.

For visual work please send us completed projects or detailed sketches and specify the number of visuals you would like to deliver for the final submission. Please provide this via a Wetranfer link attached to a brief explanation of the work.

Additional to these materials we ask you to send a brief bio (max. 300 characters) and website or related social media links by July 20th, 2021 at the following email address: studio@cerrato-halls.com

We regret to say that we are not able to pay for your contributions at the moment, as this project is self-initiated. We do not support this practice, so we hope to solve this as soon as possible.

The selection for the journal will be done by 3 curators and will base on the relationship of the submissions.

Thank you all for all your valuable submissions in advance, we look forward to hearing from all of you!
