Call for Submissions: choa magazine's Volume 2Deadline: March 31, 2021
In our inaugural volume, “물—WATER”, we explored the multiple ways that water exists in our lives, in the context of the climate crisis.
In our second volume, we look at another important aspect of our lives that impacts and is impacted by the climate crisis. 집밥 Jip-bab, literally translating to home (집 jip) rice (밥 bab), means a home cooked meal. It carries connotations of familial warmth, home, care, and emotional nourishment—all essential aspects to living a full, meaningful life. In this volume, we invite you to explore the underlying forces that allow us to enjoy the warmth and emotional nourishment of jip-bab. Who are the people growing and making our food? Will we be able to continue to enjoy the dishes as we know them, given the impacts of the climate crisis on different crops? How can we care for the frontline workers at grocery stores who are stocking the shelves and sanitizing the floors? What experiences, histories, and relationships do the dishes and ingredients share with us? Share with us your stories, your art, your music about what influences and impacts Jip-bab in your life. We encourage all Korean womxn of all spectrum of experiences. Korean means all those who identify with this ethnicity, including mixed ethnicity and adoption or citizenship status. Womxn include all those who identify within the gender identity of “female”. Please note, you don’t have to be an artist to submit! We welcome everyone in all sorts of careers and life stages. Given our mission to expand on our understanding of Korean experiences, we especially encourage submissions from members of different parts of the Korean community, including people with disabilities, across generations, from the LGBTQ2+ community, and who identify with other marginalized groups. We only accept pieces in English and/or Korean. Deadline: March 31, 2021 |
