Spira9art invites submissions for re:art, our interdisciplinary arts and culture quarterly. We are currently accepting work for Issue 2, titled The World Beneath Their Feet — an exploration of the unseen, the unheard, and the deeply buried.

About the Theme

The World Beneath Their Feet
investigates the spaces and stories overlooked by dominant culture — from marginal geographies to forgotten histories and inner psychological terrains. This issue is structured around three interconnected chapters:

  • Origin – beginnings, roots, buried pasts

  • Intervention – moments of disruption, emergence, resistance

  • Reconstruction – rebuilding, reimagining, layering new worlds from old


We invite you to explore the metaphoric and material spaces beneath our feet — both literal and symbolic — and to share work that resonates with the question:

"What do we really see when we look down at our feet?"

And,
"Can entering their world help us understand ourselves anew?"

We’re Seeking Work In:

  • Visual arts | Installation | Moving image | Intermedia

  • Performance | Body-based practices | Dance

  • Writing | Narrative | Criticism | Experimental forms

  • Sound design | Spatial interventions | Digital and cross-media experiments


What Selected Artists Receive:

  • Consideration for a future art residency through Spira9art

  • Publication in re:art — Issue 2 (print + digital)

  • A dedicated feature page and artist/writer interview

  • Opportunity to be featured in our annual book and art review

  • Eligibility to participate in our next group exhibition

  • Exposure via our network of media partners and collaborators


How to Submit:


Please fill in the submission form. Successful artists will be contacted via email.

There is no submission fee

🔶 Your work is more than image, space, or sound — It is a world growing from beneath your feet.

Let us walk there with you.
