MERIP is seeking pitches for our Summer 2026 issue exploring visual art and cultural production in the Middle East and North Africa. We invite submissions that center artistic practices and cultural histories while attending to the political, social and material conditions in which art is made and experienced. We welcome a range of perspectives and forms, including analytical articles, dispatches, review essays, interviews and visual essays. Editors are looking for pieces that dig beneath the surface of cultural production to ask questions about its material conditions, its circulation and the political possibilities it enables or expresses. Investigations of visual art, photography, film, music, museums, monuments and architecture and other artistic forms such as folk art, protest art and crafts are all welcome.
