An online art + literary magazine, for artists of all experience levels to share their work in a laidback process.

This newsletter gathers inspiration from magazines, zines, journals, and blogs to become a kind of all-encompassing collection of curios. That is to say: whatever you are working on—be it poetry, short fiction, book review, comic strip, graph, interview, essay, or painting—send it our way! We’re interested! So long as your submission can be said to have an “art and literature” quotient, we’ll consider it! Paloma is a space for writers who are looking to showcase their work without themselves having to establish a readership and maintain frequent publications—submissions are always open and our editorial team strives to establish a laidback and quality outlet.

How do films stage transformation? Is coming-of-age the sole pleasure and privilege of youth? For the second edition of OPEN, we want to look beneath the staple iconography of the beloved trope, in an attempt to uncover something akin to its quintessential structure — a structure that extends beyond age-bound events to encompass all kinds of crossings from one state of living to another.<div><br></div><div>We invite writers to locate coming-of-age in less likely iterations, whether that’s experiences of migration, exile, displacement, or return; the negotiation of new bodies, geographies, identities, and social worlds; age, but more broadly time, grief, and the transformation of identity.</div><div><br></div><div>We welcome pitches on films, filmmakers, traditions and more; ideas for essays, reviews, dispatches, or any other form that revisits the canonical, uncovers the overlooked, or finds traces of the trope in unexpected places.</div>
