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.

TheMETAFIN project aims to approach the ideological construct of “Finnishness” from a blurred angle, as a cultural territory of the visual and forms of dispersed information. It investigates the thematic through experimental graphic design, exhibition practices, digital and analog archives, reproduction and critical writing.
To the public METAFIN seeks to function as a visually inclined starting point for conversations in the expanding and marginal definitions of Finnishness. For actors in art, design, culture, research and criticism the project works to develop a theoretical platform for observing, representing and working with the Finnish national identity, as well as an opportunity to participate in the discourse it generates.
The METAFIN exhibition will open during the Helsinki Design Week 2015, consisting of re-curated representation of the material both received as submissions and accumulated by the project’s visual research. We are also launching a specially designed publication, as well as a talk event, to further open up a free and critical discussion on a more contemporary “Finnishness”.
METAFIN exhibition, 1-29 September 2015, Daily 11:00-18:00, Satamakatu 5, Helsinki.

‘Palestine Is…’ Exhibition
If you are in London why not drop by the Interpal office to take a look at our in-house exhibition ‘Palestine Is’.
We asked artists to conjure up images of what Palestine is to them. Ranging from dreams of the fantastical to the brutal realities of war.
There is still time to submit your artwork to our illustration competition, the winners of which will have their artwork featured in our upcoming poetry collection, ‘Palestine Verses Vol. II’.
