A headstone is a marker for those who have passed: it can be a representation of one's identity or legacy, a last word, a sense of closure, a transformation, or a reminder from the past carried into the future. Who or what do you want to memorialize?
We welcome work about any of these themes (literally or figuratively):
- Memorials, remembrances, obituaries, eulogies, epitaphs, vigils, wakes
- Cemeteries, columbaria, catacombs, and other visual culture
- Grief, loss, bereavement, anticipatory grief, not grieving
- Mythology, cultural practices, the afterlife, transitory states
- Thanatology
- An ending to a story
- Other related themes and connections
Headstone is open to submissions and accepts both written work and visual art.
Submissions are open here for vol. 1 until Friday May 30, 2025. (link: Google Forms)
Vol. 1 will be printed in Black, Risofederal Blue, and Red. Here's a color preview:
