Art, Action, Impact: Voices of 21st-century Activism Anthology A project of IHRAM Press Literary Magazine (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (October 2025). We provide the following information as an archive. About This anthology will explore interventions that have sparked widespread change, highlighting protests and acts of resistance expressed through art, storytelling, and personal activism. We seek to amplify diverse perspectives and celebrate the courage of those who have stood up to demand change. From large demonstrations to small groups organizing to the transformative power of art and storytelling, these acts of defiance remind us of the resilience and courage of the human spirit.We seek firsthand accounts from authors who have participated in activist movements, as well as reflections on the power of creative resistance to inspire transformation. We are especially interested in the voices of those who have faced human-rights abuses, state violence, discrimination based on gender or sexuality, and racism, and who have protested against these injustices.
