Call for Submissions: Issue No. 8

Theme: Transdisciplinarity, or “Creativity and Knowledge“

Indelible, our canvas for creative expression, is excited to announce our upcoming issue, and we invite you to be a part of it!

Our theme for the next edition is “Transdisciplinarity: Creativity and Knowledge.” How can creativity be a knowledge nirvana? We believe that creativity also teaches, it is more than just a spark of inspiration; creative works can be a generative wellspring of knowledge, a source of understanding, and a vessel through which we explore and interpret the world.

In other words, there are creative threads to every tapestry of knowledge…so let’s weave this piece together!

We are seeking exceptional contributions that explore this theme across various genres, including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, art, photography, and reviews. Whether you’ve penned a poem that uncovers the secrets of the creative process, crafted a short story that delves into the minds of imaginative individuals, or captured the essence of creativity and arts-based research through your lens, we want to hear from you.

Creative works about and inspired by the different knowledge disciplines (math, medicine, science, history, geography, psychology, philosophy, etc.) are what we are looking for—let those disciplines dance through your words, lenses, or brushstrokes!

Here are some suggestions:

  • Poetry: Send us poems that paint the vivid landscapes of imagination, or that probe the depths of artistic inspiration and transdisciplinarity.
  • Fiction: Share your stories that breathe life into the act of making, and that explore the intersections of creativity and knowledge.
  • Nonfiction: works that dissect the role of creativity in various fields of knowledge, that narrate your personal journeys of artistic discovery, or that reflect on the transformative power of imagination.
  • Art and Photography: Showcase your visual creations that embody the essence of creativity, that reveal the beauty of the artistic process, or that challenge conventional perceptions.
  • Reviews: Review books, films, artworks, or any creative work that has left an indelible mark on you, exploring how it has shaped your understanding of creativity as a knowledge source.

Submission Deadline: January 30, 2024.

Issue #8 expected release date: on May 2024.
