COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INTERVENTIONS

Deadline: 12 November 2023

In conjunction with TLP’s Spring 2024 exhibition curated by Daniel Arturo Almeida, Intervenxions will publish a series of texts on themes underscoring historical contexts and drawing links to contemporary currents in Latinx arts, politics, and culture. We’re interested in essays on the following topics:

• Cultural extraction and restitution
• Radical museology
• Decolonizing archives and conservation
• Re-interpreting museum collections
• Reclaimed narratives
• Rematriation
• Eurocentric archeology and colonial violence
• Diasporic frameworks and resistance
• Monuments and memory
• Colonial anthropology
• Decolonial pedagogy
• Ancestral knowledge systems

Please send all pitches (no more than 250 words) to latinxproject@nyu.edu by November 12, 2023. Include a brief biography (100 words or less) with your pitch. Selected writers will undergo an editorial process that will include at least two rounds of edits with the Intervenxions editorial team.

If for any reason the selected piece does not get published, writers will be offered a kill fee equivalent to half of the honorarium.

*Contributors receive an honorarium of $500 for original essays, which we currently prioritize over interviews and reviews.
