Stories in Ink — OPEN CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
About:
"Stories in Ink: Elevating the Voices of Equity-Seeking Communities" is a community arts project, led by Dr. Susan Cadell in collaboration with Textile, focused on tattoos and tattooing as a way for destigmatizing grief, commemorating loss, facilitating healing, and celebrating identity. With particular emphasis on underrepresented voices of queer, Indigenous, racialized, and disabled individuals, "Stories in Ink" aims to challenge societal stigmas and elevate their stories in an in-print and digital publication.
Details/Guidelines:
Expressions of interest (EOI) from all cultural backgrounds are welcome, especially from those identifying as African, Caribbean, and Black; Indigenous (First Nation, Inuit, and Métis); 2SLGBTQIA+; Neurodivergent; Disabled, including individuals living at the intersections of these identities.
After reviewing your EOI, you may be asked for an interview to be conducted online via Zoom. Based on this conversation, we will determine your involvement in the project.
If selected, you will work closely with an editor to fully develop and hone your story/narrative.
We are offering $200 CAD to selected contributors, who will receive 40% compensation upfront. The remaining 60% will be paid upon the publication of their work.
Deadline:
DATE or when the submission limit is reached.
