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
We will choose the most relevant proposal by mid-November and work together with the guest editor to produce the issue by early 2018, both digitally and in print. The chosen editor is tasked with seeking and selecting suitable contributions and providing a small editorial text for the issue (max 500 words). Past issues have held around 5-7 contributions each (you can view examples at www.selim.fi/slim). In exchange, we can offer a small honorarium.

It has been a strange and difficult time. Many people I know processed this through art, storytelling, music, poetry, drama, comedy, and so many other forms of expression. And many people, like myself, fell into and out of the ability to do this creative work, into and out of dry spells, while trying to keep our heads above water and to live in a shut down world.
About a year ago, in the midst of chaos and as a way of responding to it, I began an experimental audio series called IN A WALLED CITY. After a hiatus, work on this project has resumed. Over the course of this past year and especially during the time of quarantine I was able to spend more time listening and watching. While this has been a traumatic period in many ways, it has also been a time of enormous artistic output for many people – many of whom are professionals, many of whom turned to creative work for the first time, and many in between.
I’m working with a group called Thicket to launch an artistic showcase called KALEIDOSCOPIC in which we aim to feature artwork of all kinds made during this time of immense change. We are looking for everything from songs to podcasts to films to monologues to essays to anything else you’ve made that you consider your artistic expression.
This showcase will take place online on July 17th. We are seeking submissions in the form of 2-5 minute videos that show your art in whatever form you feel is most appropriate.
This is a paid event. We will be selling tickets for $25 and we will split the proceeds: one third will be divided among all contributing artists, one third will be divided among the production staff, and one third will cover expenses.
If you’d like to submit to the showcase please visit https://www.thicket.agency/ where you can find the FAQ as well as more information about Thicket and upcoming workshops.
If you would like to get involved with production of this or future events, or if you’d like some guidance on your submission, or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
If you aren’t planning to submit, please consider purchasing a ticket and spreading the word. I will debut new work from IN A WALLED CITY at this event and several close friends and collaborators will be showcasing great work as well!
In other news, I am working on an instrumental album called NINE COURTLY DANCES as well as rehearsing live sets with both Wing & Scale and RAQIA. Touring with Welcome to Night Vale will resume in the spring of 2022.
I am looking forward to seeing you, on the road or online!
Thanks for listening,
Jon / Disparition
“Caw, caw!” A huge black crow circled above me in the air and landed on a rock nearby. We looked at each other in silence.
“Crow, are you a boy or a girl?”
“Caw, caw!”
I laughed and rolled over on my back. The sky was crayon blue. I pretended I was lying on the cotton white clouds. The earth was damp against my back. The sun was hot, the breeze was cool. I felt happy. Nature held me close and seemed to find no fault with me.”
-Leslie Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues
*** CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ***
“Nature Held Me Close” is a zine about gender dysphoria and the great outdoors. Sometimes it’s hard to exist in a physical body, but spending time in nature can be one of the best ways to feel more comfortable in your own skin.
This zine is a place to feature art and writing from trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people about how spending time outdoors – hiking, camping, gardening, birdwatching, landscaping, doing outdoor education or research, or just sitting quietly in nature – has influenced how you feel about your body and your gender. Submissions are open to dysphoric people of any and all gender identities!
You are welcome to share:
- Essays and other nonfiction writing
- Poetry
- Digital and/or traditional art
- Photography
- Mixed media
How to participate:
Email[email protected] with your submission. Please include 1) your name or a nickname you’d like to be known by, 2) social media handle if you’d like it to be published with your piece (optional), and 3) any author’s or artist’s notes you’d like included as well. Once submissions are collected, this zine will be published as a free PDF. Submissions are due by June 20, 2020: this year’s summer solstice.
Submission guidelines are included under the cut!
