In Between Knots. Issue Two: A Soft Undoing
Deadline: 30 September 2025
Submission Fee: Free
Eligibility: All ages, nationalities, and places of residence. There are no formal requirements for professional experience or level of expertise — we welcome both emerging and established artists, writers, and practitioners. Submissions may take any of the following forms: poetry, short prose, hybrid or experimental writing, visual or textile-based work (e.g., embroidery, mending, collage, scans), annotated maps, ritual recipes, walking scores, letters, conversations, or embodied reflections.
About the call: This issue turns toward the slow, deliberate work of repair — the forms of care that emerge when something frays, ruptures, or no longer fits. We’re thinking of knots that slip, seams that split under strain, and the fragile joins that hold us together — until they don’t.
Repair, here, is not about perfection or closure. It’s about "a form of counter-reaction, aimed at resisting something, but also as an extremely interesting approach to injury," as artist Kader Attia writes.
What you get: Your work published in the second print issue of In Between Knots, offering publication exposure to an international, multidisciplinary community. Contributors may also be invited to participate in related workshops, events, or online features, providing opportunities for networking and dialogue with other artists, writers, and practitioners.
