PRISM international invites submissions for its upcoming HYBRIDS issue 62.3, edited by Dora Prieto and Natasha Gauthier.
What is the joy of the hybrid gesture? Where does it live? And how does hybridizing create that secret third thing? We’re curious about the possibility of the hybrid, its spirit, generations, and generative qualities; its rendering into something capacious enough to hold the boundlessness of the in-between, the cut-up, the collab. And in the context of nations and worldviews intent on categorizing and punishing the act of mixing or joining together, what does hybridity promise for those of us who don’t fit neatly into established norms of nation, sexuality, body, and more?
Send us your cross-genre mash-ups, poetry comics or collages, ekphrastic combines, fragmentary epistles, mixtapes on repeat, queerings of genre/space/time, counter-colonial translations, intertextual visions—the unexpected work that creates its own language and rules. If you’re a writer who lives between worlds, or if hybridity speaks to you in a different way, we also want to hear from you.
