mehfilversary - open call: 5 years of creative authenticity

This year, Rawanee celebrates five years of creative authenticity with بُنیاد • سفر • رُوح — Bunyād • Safar • Rūḥ (Foundation • Journey • Soul): a season of events, publications, and podcasts honouring the voices, stories, and languages, that have and continue to shape our community.

We are bringing together a series of publications (anthology and blog posts), events, and podcast episodes - and invite participation. 

The anthology open call extends and expands our earlier initiative Watan ki Mitti. Roots remain central - and now they sit alongside other global majority journeys - whether these be stories of migration and refuge, identity, spirit and the soul, or personal and psychological journeys.
