Be Our Guest (Editor)

As you may know, S’lim is a visually driven zine that focuses on one place at a time, merging the urban, contemporary and historical experiences of visiting, living, staying and theorizing. The core idea is to utilize and publish mostly already existing imagery (social, archival, residual...) to re-frame and showcase potential alternate contemporaneities and observations through a momentary, curatorial lens.

We are now calling for guest curators / editors for an upcoming issue #6 on Helsinki.

Send us a small blurb (max 150 words) describing an editorial idea, highlighting a specific viewpoint on “Helsinki”. We are particularly interested in margins, side-eyes and off-conditions.

Email your ideas to [email protected] by 30 October 2017

Call for Contributions S'lim #3 - "Ys"

For the first time (like, ever) we are calling for contributions to our zine S'lim. The upcoming third issue will be called Ys. What does it all mean?

As you may know, S’lim is a zine edited and created by us, @selimhelsinki, and the people and projects we encounter, focusing on a particular place at a time, merging the contemporary and the historical experiences of visiting, living, staying and theorizing. The past issues have looked into Venice and Berlin, but with the next episode, we'll move on to an unknown territory.

Ys, was in essence a mythical city located on the coast of Bretagne, the westernmost tip of France, that supposedly disappeared into the ocean. Nobody knows if Ys ever existed, but mixed with other mythologies and legends in European history, Ys was eventually adopted as one of the romantic "lost cities" in the 19th century literature and art.

Thus, we are looking for contributions of contemporaneities, past and present, from places that somehow fit the descriptions of Ys - places that were lost, or that only ever existed in our stories.

You may send us short image series or text (with a title) by email to [email protected] by the 23rd of October, 2016.
