Commons | Issue 003 | STRATUM Journal of Art, Culture, and the Humanities

STRATUM Journal of Art, Culture, and the Humanities invites essays, criticism, reflections, and text-based contributions for Issue 003: Commons.

This issue approaches the commons as shared ground: something individuals step onto before they know who has made it, who has cared for it, and who may still be kept at its edges. STRATUM is interested in writing that considers how common worlds are made, maintained, contested, and kept open across collective life, public space, care, exclusion, memory, and belonging.

They welcome submissions from writers, critics, researchers, artists, curators, and cultural practitioners whose work can hold complexity with clarity, precision, and a strong sense of relation.

Application Instructions

There is no fee to submit. All submissions are reviewed individually, and only selected contributors will be contacted for publication. The deadline is August 25, 2026.
