Dedicated to critical cultural production at the intersection of art and activism.

We cover artists from around the globe whose work explores and realizes social change. Our goal is to provide a narrative about these activist efforts while simultaneously participating in them. Maintained by The Groundswell Collective since 2007.

Sadly, we can’t return submissions, or be responsible for their being lost or stolen. We can, however, give you some specific guidelines on how they should come to us:

Visual Art

Mail or e-mail samples of your work as JPG, PNG, or GIF files, at most 450 pixels wide, optimized for web viewing at 72dpi. Physical samples are welcomed and encouraged, but beware our mailbox is tiny.

Music

Submit music on CD to our address above, or e-mail a link to where you house your work online. Please do not send unsolicited files via e-mail. We’ll take a torrent or a direct download of MP3 or OGG files. Please indicate whether you’d like us to offer a free download of your music or promotional materials.

Film & Video

Films/videos should be mailed on DVD or submitted via e-mail with a link to a stream or download. We’d love to host your work, so please let us know if we can include a trailer or sample from the film in our review.
