Special Publications: Switcheroo . Haiku Year-in-Review . Translation . Attic Inspiration . Responses RESPONSES
At Broadsided, we believe that art and literature belong in our daily lives. They inspire and demonstrate the vitality and depth of our connection with the world. We have watched the news and images of people fleeing, in a large part, war in Syria (the Syrian Civil War)—nearly four million individuals—and the complicated reception of those refugees globally. Five Broadsided Press artists have provided images they've created that, for them, speak to the Syrian refugees in a wide sense. We also reached out to artists abroad, and the Syrian artist Moustafa Jacoub offered one of his pieces. We now ask you to respond with words. Below are the images and specific guidelines for submission. We look forward to seeing what responses are inspired in you. Click each image to see a larger version.
— Moustafa Aljarad, known as Moustafa Jacoub, is a Syrian digital artist who makes photo manipulations, graphic designs, and Art direction. He lives now in Houston, Texas. He says, "My life message is supporting the oppressed and poor people in all the world through art, especially in my country Syria." View recent art on his Facebook page
GuidelinesRespond to the pieces above in poetry, fiction, or prose. Your response need not be literal—you may take off in any tangent the work suggests. However, the art and writing must, together, work to create a greater piece. We are not afraid of strong, political work, but we do not favor the didactic.
NOTE: Because we are aware of the hardships borne and because we want to hear from writers directly involved in the refugee crisis, we are waiving submission fees for Syrian writers. If you are a Syrian writer submitting a response, you'll see a button on Submittable for you. The editors will read all submissions, and the winning entries/entry will be published on or around November 1, 2015. If your piece is chosen, we will have a short question or two to ask you about your process and will ask for a photo of your collaboration up in your community. You can get a pdf of this announcement here. This is Broadsided's fourth "Responses" feature.
