Call for Submissions: BERLIN • August 2022
In recent years, with the flow of refugees from West Asia and Africa streaming toward Europe, many have struggled to find acceptance and asylum in the UK, Germany, and several Nordic countries, but one city stands out as having become a preferred destination among Arab and other Middle Eastern immigrants, and that is BERLIN.
On August 15, 2022, The Markaz Review will publish an issue devoted to Berlin from the viewpoint of its SWANA refugees, in particular artists and writers, activists and educators from Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Algeria, Palestine, Israel and other countries south and west of the Mediterranean.
Is Berlin the “new Damascus” or “new Cairo” as some have called it? This population had the precedent of a large Turkish migration; as a result, are Germans in Berlin more receptive to and accepting of Muslims immigrants? Stories of adaptation and asylum, in the form of first-person essays, short fiction, photography, film, art and music are welcome.
Please query editor@themarkaz.org by July 31, 2022 or submit your completed work. Final copy deadline is August 5, 2022.
