Political intentions – drawing and it’s social and political dimensions

This is a call for papers that explore the social and political content in drawing. This can focus on the field of graphic art including posters, graffiti, murals and comics. It can also be about social and political content in fine art and independent practice. The aim of the issue it to see, through written and pictorial submissions, how drawing is and has been used as a way of documenting, promoting, and exploring social and political issues and themes. We accept image-based submissions with supporting text.

Inside as in the physical space, inside at home, but also inside as inside yourself, personal feelings locked inside ourselves, intimate impulses.

The Black Book Drawing and Sketching journal give both written and visual space for exploratory research on cross domains that contact the mentioned topics.
