HAUS-A-REST Open Call

Theme: Memorabilia

HAUS-A-REST is now accepting submissions for our next issue of the online zine and our Instagram gallery.

We welcome work in any form—visual art, photography, digital media, collage, painting, sound pieces, video stills, poetry, essays, fragments of text, short fiction, experimental writing, and beyond.

This issue’s theme is Memorabilia.

Memorabilia are not only objects—concert tickets, photographs, letters, keepsakes—but also fragments of memory, gestures, words, and feelings that we cling to, reimagine, or transform.

For artists and creative thinkers, memorabilia often becomes raw material: the ephemera that bridges past and present, personal and collective history, lived experience and artistic practice.

In times of constant digital turnover, memorabilia challenges us to think about what we hold onto, what we archive, and how we reframe personal or cultural histories through creative practice.

From nostalgia to critical reflection, from intimate souvenirs to ironic collectables, this theme opens a wide space for interpretation.

We invite artists and writers to send us works that explore memorabilia in any sense—whether material, emotional, digital, or imagined.

Submission Guidelines:

• Send up to 5 works (images, texts, or both).
• Texts can be short or long: poetry, essays, micro-texts, or experimental writing, all welcome.
• Please include your name, a short bio, and (if applicable).
• Artists, you must have an Instagram handle.
• An artist's website is optional. 

Selected works will be published on our Instagram gallery [@haus.a.rest] and in our upcoming online zine.
