Be a part of our next issue

For better or for worse, 2020 has been a year that will be etched in history for decades and centuries to come. Our future selves, as well as generations upon generations, will read about our experiences with the global pandemic. What do we want to relay to them about it, and how do we ourselves want to remember this year? 

As part of our long-term efforts to document history as it happens in the Arab Gulf States and larger Arab world, we are ending the year with a digital issue that will form a time capsule, and we are inviting Arabs all over the world, and people who reside in Arab world, to take part. Here is how you can participate:

Writing

We are welcoming previously unpublished/unshared reflections, short stories, and poetry that are centered on 2020, the COVID-19 crisis, social distancing, quarantine, isolation and the new normal. Send us your piece(s) on [email protected], along with a short bio of yourself.  The final day for submissions is Saturday, 26 September 2020. Both English and Arabic submissions are welcome.

Art, photography, video, music

Are you an artist, photographer, or videographer? We are looking for artworks, photographs and videos that document your experiences with the COVID-19 crisis and the resulting social distancing, quarantine and isolation. How did quarantine and the crisis look in your eyes?  How did you celebrate milestones and holidays during this crisis? Keep in touch with loved ones? Were you stuck abroad at some point? How did quarantine look like when you were away from home and your loved ones? Did you document these moments through photography, art, or videography? These are some of themes we are looking for (though the door is open for other related themes).  We are also welcoming musical pieces that speak to the crisis and 2020.

Send us your artworks, photos, videos and musical pieces on [email protected] along with the title of the work(s) and a summary of it, as well as a short bio of yourself.  We encourage artwork, photos, videos and musical pieces that have been previously unshared or unpublished, though we will exceptionally accept works previously shared on your social media channels. The final day for submissions is Saturday, 26 September 2020. Both English and Arabic submissions are welcome.

Audio documentary

Calling all those with exceptional experiences with the COVID-19 crisis to take part in an audio project that will document our collective experiences. If you have a unique story or experience to share with us that could be told best in audio, please send us a short written summary of it, along with your name, to [email protected] and we will get in touch in order to schedule a recording session remotely.  The final day for pitch submissions is Saturday, 26 September 2020. Both Arabic and English speakers are welcome.
