about rivulet
A rivulet is a small river that grows from a dry cut in the earth to a stream to a flood and back, co-creating the field, the brush, and the ecology of creatures inhabiting its zone.
The word implies continous dialogue rooted in collision, emergence, and growth, in which creatures (poems, images, birds) exchange value, fall apart, and build in one another's presence.
rivulet is an online journal publishing hybrid & genre-busting artworks exploring the interstitial.
The current issue is called rivulet 10: sound barrier. Read about it here.
In 2016, we put forward the following goals:
- to foster dialogue in which the interstitial spaces between artworks and artists speak and are granted room to develop
- to resist oppression in all forms and actively combat the atrophying of language
- to foreground voices of the dispossessed, with an eye to unspoken/undershared histories
- to publish work that pays deference to its ontology and somatic expression, or is still somehow in progress/process
We welcome partners and collaborators in this thought experiment. Please visit our submissions page to learn more. We prioritize work shared by Q*TIA+ BIPOC makers, both emerging and established, from around the world.
rivulet is a co-edited collaboration between Teo Rivera-Dundas and Jhani Randhawa. Our colophon was designed by Katie Sparks.
Thank you for reading.
