De-Canon resumes its mission of “de-canonizing” by teaming up with Fonograf Editions to publish an anthology of hybrid-literary works by women and nonbinary BIPOC writers. This anthology will explore multimodal forms of writing that navigate the restless intersections of writing, visual art, and other media, and that innovate in their contemplations - and complications - of language and form. 

Submissions are open from October 1st to December 15, 2021. DEADLINE EXTENDED—JAN. 31st, 2022

What is hybridity? What does it mean, and why does it matter now, to pay heed to hybrid modes of writing and art, to confluences of aesthetic mediums, to processes that make visible the seams and in-between spaces of the realms we ‘make’ in? How does the hybrid form potentially re-define “writing”? And, what fuels a writer/artist to construct forms of their own hybrid making, to blend or reconfigure or dissolve the established lines between modes of ‘voicing’? 

In this anthology we wish to investigate how and why the hybrid space resonates as it does, notably for BIPOC women and nonbinary writers, who may use such modes to elasticize and elude definitions, defy and blur boundaries, and thus reimagine paradigmatic possibilities. We see the medium of language as a complexly riddled and rife material of the 21st century, one that is multi-textu(r)al (textual and con-textual), made of more than words, interwoven, punctured, fragmented, grafted, possessing power to construct and deconstruct, fed into by many rivers of experience: our marginalizations and migrations, diasporas and displacements, invisibilities and hyper-visibilities. We are interested in how writers of hybrid natures and minority backgrounds are devising ways of working with language that both subvert and re-form the dominant narratives that language (notably: English) has been used, historically, to uphold. Our exploration of hybrid forms is also an exploration of the creative possibilities of language, filtered through varying modalities, from image to sound to object, and how this results in new richnesses of reading and perceiving.
