Wa Na Wari’s Seattle Black Spatial Histories Institute is commissioning one artist to create, design and lay out a Zine – a low cost, DIY, low tech, non-commercial print-work. The Zine will activate a series of oral histories recorded between 2021 and 2022. We are calling on local illustrators, photographers, poets, and visual artists with experience in design/creating and laying out printed materials to apply to help activate these stories for the community. The selected artist will create, layout and design a zine centering community stories collected about the many contributions Black folks have made to Seattle’s waterfront. Stories collected include themes of union organizing, the longshore profession and Black and Indigenous histories on the waterfront. . DEADLINE Monday, October 31, 2022. Please allow ample time to complete your application. All questions regarding the application should be directed to [email protected]. . ELIGIBILITY This call is open to artists who have a connection to Seattle’s Black history.

BUDGET The selected artist will receive a stipend of $2,000 inclusive of all taxes and fees for the creation, lay out and design of the Zine.
