Dare to defy.
Dare to create.
Dare to submit.
The next issue begins with you. We invite artists, writers, and photographers to share work that provokes, seduces, and defies expectation.
Each theme opens a new window into the erotic and the surreal — the space between what’s imagined and what’s confessed. If that speaks to you, send us what you’ve made. We want to see what happens when you surrender to creation.
NEXT ISSUE
Vol. 9 - Dévotion
Deadline: June 1, 2026
Release: June 20, 2026
For issue #9 of the Société Anonyme zine, we’re calling for work that centers on the theme of devotion — what it holds, what it feels like, and what it takes to return to something again and again.
The repetition. The attention. The care. The fixation. The compulsion. The quiet pull toward something you give yourself to, often without fully understanding why.
Devotion isn’t something you declare.
It’s something you return to.
Submission Brief
Core Concept
Devotion takes shape in different ways.
It can look like care, or fixation. A ritual, a habit, a pattern that repeats without being fully understood. It can attach to a person, a dynamic, a desire, or something less defined. Over time, it begins to organize how you move, what you notice, what you return to.
What’s curious about devotion is not just what it is, but that it persists. That you go back to something — again and again — without always knowing why.
How To Impress
We respond to work that stays inside that experience.
Not work that explains devotion, but work that carries it — the pull, the tension, the sense of being drawn toward something that isn’t fully named or resolved.
Follow the feeling, not the definition.
Let the work hold the repetition, the desire, the fixation — without stepping outside to interpret it.
Submissions can be new or existing.
How To Distress
Avoid work that explains itself.
This is not an artist statement.
Not an academic reading.
Not a piece that frames the work from a distance.
If the writing tells us what it means, it’s doing too much.
We’re not looking for clarity or conclusions. We’re looking for something that exists on its own terms.
Final Thought
You don’t need to resolve anything.
You don’t need to understand it completely.
If there’s something you’ve returned to — something that’s held your attention, your time, or your body in a way you can’t fully explain — start there.
Go as far into it as you want.

Who Should Contribute?
This zine exists because of you — our members — and the fragments, fantasies, and glimpses you share. Each issue is built from your perspectives, and your participation keeps the project alive.
You don’t need to be a photographer, writer, or artist — just curious. Have the courage to look closer and send something honest, unfinished, or unresolved.
