Alien 2018 

Cover art by ​Sherwin Ovid
Acquire "Alien" issue at Hi Buddy Chicago or Amazon.
ALIEN 2018 - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
In response to the 2016 election and its immediate aftermath, the theme of our third issue is “alien.” What does it mean to be “alien”? How can we unpack the term “alien” in the context of museums and cultural institutions?

Submission topics may include, but are not limited to:
· Museums as sites of social and political resistance
· Museums as sanctuary spaces
· The politics of representation
· Investigating the ways objects are labelled within collections
· Issues of repatriation of cultural heritage
· Community engagement/detachment
· Examples of resistance in digital spaces
· Alienated labor
· Migration
· Terminology
· Othering of marginalized groups
· Queering museum spaces
· Experiences of alienation as a visitor
