Tendrils Journal is seeking submissions of visual art and short-form literature for its edition “Trauma and the Environment.” As an art & literary publication, we’re dedicated to sparking conversations around trauma and opening pathways for healing.

The second edition of Tendrils will explore the profound relationships between trauma and the natural and built environment; how processes of growth, decay, and change, mirrors and shapes our individual and collective experiences.

We invite creators to interpret this theme in their own way––whether conceptually, through abstraction, realism, or any form in between. We’re interested in thoughtful, bold, and distinctive voices that contribute fresh and meaningful perspectives to the topic.

Your work:

• Art submissions can be in any medium or size

• For literature, submit short-form work (up to 1,000 words) such as poetry or short stories. We will consider excerpts if you have a long-form work that aligns with the themes.
