The triannual print publication Art Review Oxford focused on the intersection of art and critical theory is issuing an open call for essays, texts, and artwork related to Translation/Mistranslation. Submissions should be between 700-1200 words and relate to one of the six key themes of the issue:
- Exploring ideas of languages that rebel, refuse, and reimagine.
- The problems presented within the process of translation, specifically when assuming
that English is the output.
- How language fails to hold ideas in one form while succeeding in other ideas.
- Ways in which trans-languaging has been used as a tool against the institution.
- How have online outputs affected the way we perceive language (AI, word limits, captions).
- How individuals use 'broken' language in their practice to reconstruct their identities from territories and cultural histories that are fragmented.
