STRATUM Journal Open Call for Artists, Writers, Researchers & Cultural Practitioners

STRATUM journal is an open call developed within an ISSN-registered journal context and published as part of ELSEHERE’s global editorial ecosystem. The journal welcomes artists, writers, researchers, curators, cultural workers, and interdisciplinary practitioners whose work moves across art, culture, and the humanities. STRATUM publishes essays, criticism, artist writing, interviews, dossiers, experimental texts, practice-led research, and hybrid forms that demonstrate a distinct voice, strong thinking, and formal intelligence. It is especially suited for contributors whose work exists between disciplines, languages, or conventional categories. Selected contributors may be considered for publication, editorial feature development, stronger public-facing visibility, and future opportunities within ELSEHERE’s wider platform. Submission is free, and the open call runs on a rolling, year-round basis.

Requirements

The call is open worldwide to emerging and established contributors from any location. Eligible applicants include artists, writers, researchers, curators, cultural workers, collectives, and interdisciplinary practitioners. STRATUM particularly welcomes submissions that emerge from artistic or cultural practice, combine reflection and analysis, engage with themes such as body, image, time, space, language, or social conditions, and resist easy categorization while remaining clear, intentional, and specific to the contributor’s own practice or perspective.

Required materials include your name, a short bio, the title of the work, a short description or abstract, and a link to the work or relevant supporting material. For questions or technical issues, applicants may contact info@elsehereglobal.com.

To help ensure delivery of responses, contributors are encouraged to add the email address to their safe sender or contact list.
