RAISE (Revolutionizing Asian American Immigrant Stories on the East Coast) and DRUM - South Asian Organizing Center are proud to announce AMPLIFY(HER), the first-ever zine by and for undocumented Asian women. AMPLIFY(HER) is a counter-narrative project that aims to empower and encourage women-led storytelling that is crucial to our identities and survival.
AMPLIFY(HER) is looking for art, prose, poetry, short stories, photography and/or mixed medium submissions from undocumented Asian women (including trans and gender non-conforming folks) on how they understand and navigate their intersecting identities in today’s society. Drawing upon black feminist thought, we understand that we do not experience our gender, class, race/ethnicity, legal status, etc. individually, but melded into an experience singular to each of us.
We welcome all artists, of all ages, and strongly encourage inter-generational dialogue. Submissions may be submitted in any language with accompanying English translation. For each selected submission, the artist will receive $100 honorarium. The 2 artists selected for the cover or spread will each receive $150 honorarium. The selected pieces will be published in our zine, which will be available in print and online.
Deadline for submission: January 1, 2016
