📢 Open Call: Little Man, What Now?

We’re sharing this interdisciplinary open call from Simulacrum, the art history and critical theory journal of the University of Amsterdam (UvA).

The upcoming issue, titled Little Man, What Now?, invites writers and artists to reflect on life under precarity, bureaucracy, and permanent crisis — not as a problem to be solved, but as a question to be activated.

They are looking for daring, interdisciplinary contributions (essay, free text, poetry, or visual work) that:
• Situate the theme within art historical and cultural historical frameworks
• Or explore it as a contemporary emotional condition shaped by political, economic, and ecological crises

🗓 Deadline: March 2, 2026
📄 Written submissions: max. 2000 words (.doc/.docx)
🖼 Visual submissions: .pdf
