Heyyyyyy. 😚

[harvardfineartslib]

We’re celebrating International Day of Transgender Visibility today!

Transgender visual artists around the world have been the champions for making their communities visible through their work and activism, such as South African artist and visual activist Zanelle Muholi (they/them) whose work document and celebrate the lives of South Africa's Black Lesbian, Gay, transgender, and intersex communities. American artist, Jay Lynn Gomez (she/her) addresses social justice issues, focusing specifically on topics of immigration, race, and labor, in particular, unseen laborers who maintain landscapes and produce luxury products. Canadian visual and performance artist, body builder, Cassils (they/them), now based in California, uses their body in a sculptural fashion, integrating feminism, body art, and gay male aesthetics.     The Fine Arts Library would like everyone to join us in celebrating trans visual artists’ legacies of trans creative expression.

FAQs

What Can I Submit?

All submissions are done thru the link in our bio! We take any format or medium of work as long as it can be published online, whether it be artwork, poetry, deep confessions, video essays, experimental dance, workout routines, recipes, or promotion for your band. If it’s in the realm of creativity or wellbeing, and promotes our ethos of trans masc joy, then we want you!

Do I Have to be Trans Masc* to Submit?

Man* Made//Made Man* is a digital space dedicated to anyone who identifies as a trans man, trans masculine, or any gender fuckery within that realm. We exist to promote trans masculine joy, and positive masculinity.

It is not a requirement for you to disclose any part of your identity when submitting work. We also ask you do not assume the identity of submissions, especially those submitted anonymously. It is not our place as a platform to decide who does or doesn’t fall in to this category. The beauty of self ID is that you decide!

Where Do I Submit?

Send us an email over at manmadezine@gmail.com. If you have any questions PLEASE reach out either through Instagram DM or Email and we will do what we can to help!

Is There a Word Count?

No minimum word count, but a maximum of 2000 words! Sadly I am only a one man team (as of now!) and do not have the capacity for longer written submissions. This may change in the future however if our team grows…

How Many Times Can I Submit?

Once per edition, please! This zine exists to give space to those looking to platform themselves, often for the first time, and to make it fair we would like to keep it to one submission per person, per edition.

Can I Submit to More Than One Edition?

Yes! Please! We love working with creatives and building lasting relationships within our community and would love to platform people as often as we can!

Is There a Payout for Submissions?

Sadly, we are not in a financial position to pay those who have submitted work. As a one person crew, I don’t even have the ability to pay myself! We don’t expect anyone to make brand new work for this zine, it is a place for us to platform and network with others in our community.

If things happen to grow in the future we would love to be able to pay accepted submissions!

Are There Age Restrictions For Submitting?

We ask for explicitly sexual work to be kept until we are ready to publish an 18+ edition of our zine. We do not include nudity as being explicitly sexual, but may have to censor genitalia for the safety of our readers who are not yet 18. Due to the intergenerational community we exist in, we want to include every age range possible! Transness is for everyone, not just adults, and we all deserve a space to platform and promote ourselves.

Can I Edit After Submission?

It depends!

Have we made a spelling mistake for your name/handle/pronouns/etc? Drop us an email at manmadezine@gmail.com and we will get it fixed ASAP!

When Do Submissions Open?

Submissions open on a quarterly basis and will remain open for a month. This gives us another two months to do the rest of the work that goes in to publishing a zine!

This editions submissions open at midnight March 17th. so tell all your friends and foes, strangers and lovers…

When will I find out if my submission has been successful?

We aim to get back to all applicants by 2 weeks post submission deadline.

If you have not been successful this time, please do still submit to future issues! It may be our current theme doesn’t entirely align with your submission, and you may be suited better for a later edition!

Where Can I Find the Zine?

We are currently working out the logistics for a webpage to keep a digital archive of our zine that can be accessed by anyone, but for now we are working on creating a format that can be emailed! We will also be featuring accepted submissions on our Instagram page!

Sadly we do not have the financial backing to publish our work physically, but would love to work with independent publishers, queer spaces, and bookshops to (hopefully!) give us a home in the future!

How can I help?

If you’d like to get involved please either email us at manmadezine@gmail.com, or send us a dm! Currently it’s just one person running the whole zine, and could very much do with some extra hands!

Sadly we are unable to pay those who help in the creation of this zine. This is a one man, unfunded passion project and solely exists to help the trans masc* community. If possible in the future we would love to be able to pay everyone involved, but for now this is a DIY and voluntary position.

my very existence is change

(this is my first tumblr post, say hello!)

[somnuscomics]

Ambyr and Andi, in balletcore inspired aesthetics. How the ballet aspect plays in to the comic will be revealed much, much later. It has a personal dimension for Ambyr, while Andi does it for more practical, fitness related reasons.

Ambyr sporting the Dior Deville duffle bag (2006-07) and the Prada studded handbag (2017 I think?) Andi with the YSL leather quilted travel bag, and the YSL baby handbag. Plus the striped Saint Laurent long scarf from fall 2013.
