Collections Of Transience Gold Star Program Gold Star When western countries have largely demanded that artists and creators of color continually commodify their identity to exist creative spaces, we ask the question, what does it mean to not lay aside our identity, but to go beyond it, firmly rooted in who we are, to define a new creative space, voice, and art. Collections of Transience is a collective of creatives of color exploring what it means when identity is not seen as a limitation, but the root for a much more expansive vision of creation. Collection Of Transience Open Call FreeOpenCollections of Transience primarily publishes works that focus on the topic of transience and its manifestations in the world. This can range from writing on migration and movement, multi-homelandedness, translation and carrying over, multi-modality and/or hybridity. We encourage works that experiment and define the diversity of young writers of color.Collections of Transience accepts external submissions to feature on our website & social medias (Instagram, etc.) This includes:Visual Artspainting, digital art, sketches, photographymust be digitalizedup to 3 pieces can be submittedPerformance pieces films, singing, music, spoken word (not more than 3 minutes in length)must be submitted as a MP4 or WAV file up to 3 pieces can be submitted Fictionshort stories, scripts (up to 6,000 words maximum)flash (up to 1,500 words maximum)Poetryup to 3 pieces maximum with no more than 3 pages per poemNonfictioncreative non-fiction, cultural critiques, editorials, articles (up to 6,000 words maximum) Please include content warnings if applicable.We have the right to reject any submission, ESPECIALLY those that contain racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, & any discriminatory content.
