[Indigsol] Call Out for Submissions - Apr 30 deadline

[ipsmo at riseup.net]

pls forward far & wide :)

Indigenous Artists & Writers Collective wants to hear YOUR voice!!!

Indigenous Sovereignty can be expressed in many, many ways. Being
sovereign as an Indigenous person can mean speaking your Original
language, knowing the land, creating a garden with ancestral seeds or
defending our homelands from logging, mining and exploitation.

We are seeking submissions that promote our resiliency and strength as
sovereign Indigenous peoples to share in an uncensored autonomously
produced, native-run FREE magazine that will be sent out across Turtle
Island this summer.

We want to wake up our nations, youth, elders, women, men and two spirited
peoples, and everyone in between to listen to our voices and rise up
together!

Do you have art that celebrates the honour within our ways of being ? How
about work that poetically engages education, maybe something you’ve
wanted to share about the beauty of Indigenous women, how colonization is
affecting you or your community, your battles with addictions, abuse or
violence. Talk about what’s going on your rez, or in the community where
you live, or the moment you realized what it means to be where you’re
from.

We are looking for any and all definitions of writing and art: news from
your community or city, articles, hip hop, recipes, graffiti stencils,
poetry, letters, quotes, artwork, re-prints, how-to’s, photos and stories.
If you can put it on paper, you can send it in, long or short!

DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO APRIL 30th
