The Markaz Review: Mental Health Issue
Deadline May 23 (must be received by this date). The Markaz Review publishes creative writing, art, and cultural criticism, with a focus on the greater Middle East: the Arab world, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan and North Africa. They are currently open to submissions of essays, feature articles and reviews of books, film, music, theatre and art, as well as profiles/interviews of artists, filmmakers, musicians and writers, for Issue #51, "Out of Our Minds", on the theme of mental health as an individual and collective problem. Editors say, "'Out of Our Minds' aims to cultivate a safe space to embrace vulnerability, celebrate resilience, and deepen our understanding of one another in this mad world."
