There are moments when a color evokes a scent, a sound recalls a forgotten place, or a texture becomes a memory. Sensum Fanzine is dedicated to these spaces where the senses intersect and new forms of artistic expression emerge.
We invite artists, writers, performers, designers, perfumers, chefs, musicians, filmmakers, scholars, and interdisciplinary creatives to submit work that explores the relationships between sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
1. A professional spread in the print and digital fanzine, ready to use in gallery applications, grant materials, and press kits. 2. Global visibility to an audience of active curators, collectors, gallerists, and arts professionals. 3. Features across our website and social media platforms, including our SENSUM Air radio show on 8ballradio.com 4. A complimentary digital issue for your archives with the option to order print (barnes & noble digital site). Review of submissions: November. Notifications December 2026. Publication March 2027
We are looking for projects that challenge conventional ways of experiencing the world—works that translate one sense into another, dissolve the boundaries between disciplines, and invite audiences into immersive, embodied encounters.
We welcome submissions in all media, including:
• Visual Art • Photography • Film & Video • Sound & Music • Olfactory Art & Perfumery • Food & Taste Practices • Performance • Poetry & Creative Writing • Essays & Critical Writing • Installation • Textiles & Material Practices • Digital, Interactive & Emerging Media • Experimental & Hybrid Projects
