World BEYOND War is partnering with The Sahira Collective on a collaborative mini magazine issue. This will be an opportunity for writers, artists, and other creatives to present their works — to display the meaning of home, especially when it has been overpowered, or distorted, by war.

The word Coordinates brings to mind maps, movement, and fleeting junctures along a journey – like signposts of place and memory. This theme invites contributors to ponder on the multifaceted notion of ‘home’, shaped as much by both physical and emotional geographies, especially in times of displacement and conflict. For some, home is a fixed point; for others, it alters with each border crossed, each memory clung to, or each loss endured.

This issue looks at how war can unsettle, uproot, and even erase the places we once called home. It also honors the migrations that ripple through generations, each one a testament to how home is not always found, but forged again and again. It asks: where do we find ourselves on the map when home is gone? And how do we re-draw our own coordinates in the aftermath?

The submission deadline is September 5. For submission guidelines and instructions on how to submit, please visit: https://worldbeyondwar.org/coordinates/ 

Please forward this email to your networks!
