Open Call for submissions for a Radical Coloring Book AREA Artists, Illustrators, Conspirators, and Pencil-wielders! – this is an open call for submissions! Please share widely! The Chicago Childcare Collective, with the help of AREA Chicago, is looking for YOU to collaborate with us in creating a Chicago-based Radical Coloring Book! We need artists to design individual pages for us! Were going to use these pages with kiddos when we do childcare. We are especially interested in work from communities involved in education justice, migrant justice, folks fighting the school to prison pipeline, restorative and transformative justice, mental health movement, home liberations, eviction blockades, anti-militarism, food justice, and queer and trans liberation. Timeline: * Sunday, November 17th - ChiChiColoring Book Party to Launch Submissions! Artists of all ages and skill levels welcome! 2pm-5pm at the Chicago Freedom School, 719 S. State Street, 3rd Floor. * December 15th – deadline for possible inclusion in AREA Chicago’s Issue #14 Kids! * March 15th – deadline for possible inclusion in our first edition of the ChiChiCo Coloring Book. How to submit: First – get in touch with us about what you want to design. We’d like to represent a wide range of the fierce organizing work going on in Chicago, and it’ll take some coordination to do that. Then – draw! illustrate! scan! and send it to chichildcareco@gmailby by the deadlines above. What you get in return: A big huge shoutout and thank you in the coloring book and a whole bunch of love, respect, and magical appreciation from the volunteers of Chichico. And warm fuzzy feelings, of course, knowing that you’re helping foster politicized childcare as we build an intergenerational movement for collective liberation! Find the full call for submissions here. The Chicago Childcare Collective (ChiChiCo) is a group of volunteers who support the participation of parents, especially mothers, in racial and economic justice work. The collective matches volunteers with community organizations across the city to have fun with kids while their parents participate in and lead organizing efforts to defend their rights and build a better Chicago. AREA Issue #14, Kids! Kids! will consider child and childhoods as political questions. How does our society define what it means to be a child, how can we challenge and re-imagine dominant ideas of childhood and children? Can radically radically re-configured “childhoods” form the basis of more just communities and relationships? This will be our first multi-generational publication.
