Siren! Magazine (Inaugural Issue, May 2026)  

Deadline: March 30, 2026

Siren! Magazine is a transnational student-led feminist magazine dedicated to amplifying voices, knowledges, and practices that are often submerged within dominant media and cultural ecosystems.  

Our inaugural issue, “Resurfacing feminist voices,” will be launched as an intervention into the noise of contemporary media culture, resisting silencing, challenging hegemonic narratives, and reclaiming communication as a key site for care, solidarity, and transformation. 

To accompany our first issue, alongside scholarly submissions, Siren! Magazine invites news, announcements, and short reports about events, initiatives, and cultural interventions related to submerged knowledges, practices, and forms of collective resistance. We aim to remain open to any and all spaces. Our intention is to share updates and collaboration opportunities transnationally and to foster dialogue across contexts we might not otherwise be able to access.  

We invite short submissions (200-400 words) that clearly document and contextualize specific initiatives, events, or projects. Submissions should include key details such as the name of the event or initiative, dates, location (if applicable), organizing bodies

 or collaborators, and a brief reflection on its aims, methods, and impact. When relevant, contributors are encouraged to include links, images, or contact information to support further connection and collaboration. 

We welcome submissions that share information about: 

• Activist gatherings, workshops, and assemblies, including their themes, participants, and outcomes 
  
• Exhibitions, performances, and film screenings, with attention to curatorial or artistic interventions 
  
• Community-based media projects and collaborative platforms 
  
• Indigenous, queer, feminist, or diasporic cultural events and organizing spaces 
  
• Archival initiatives, memory work, and counter-archives in practice 
  
• Transnational solidarity networks and grassroots organizing efforts 
  

We are especially interested in submissions that critically engage how these initiatives challenge dominant media narratives, center historically silenced voices, and experiment with alternative forms of communication and collective knowledge production.
