Be Our Guest (Editor)

As you may know, S’lim is a visually driven zine that focuses on one place at a time, merging the urban, contemporary and historical experiences of visiting, living, staying and theorizing. The core idea is to utilize and publish mostly already existing imagery (social, archival, residual…) to re-frame and showcase potential alternate contemporaneities and observations through a momentary, curatorial lens.

We are now calling for guest curators / editors for an upcoming issue #6 on Helsinki.

Send us a small blurb (max 150 words) describing an editorial idea, highlighting a specific viewpoint on “Helsinki”. We are particularly interested in margins, side-eyes and off-conditions.

Email your ideas to [email protected] by 30 October 2017

We will choose the most relevant proposal by mid-November and work together with the guest editor to produce the issue by early 2018, both digitally and in print. The chosen editor is tasked with seeking and selecting suitable contributions and providing a small editorial text for the issue (max 500 words). Past issues have held around 5-7 contributions each (you can view examples at www.selim.fi/slim). In exchange, we can offer a small honorarium.
