OPEN CALL
We would like to thank all the artists who submitted to our open call for the Sound Issue. We received nearly 1,000 submissions. We were both surprised and delighted by the number of submissions, especially to a theme that might appear narrow, though it clearly is not. There are so many remarkable artists combining sound and drawing in inventive ways. Since space in the magazine is limited, we always try to balance different perspectives on the theme, while keeping an international focus.
Please note that only the selected artists are contacted personally.
The new issue will be released in November, with preorders opening later in October.
FUKT Magazine for Drawing invites submissions for our upcoming edition:
FUKT #23 – The Sound Issue
Extended deadline 27th of June 2025
How can drawing capture sound?
What does rhythm look like on paper?
How do we draw silence, noise, music, memory, or voice?
In this issue, we look into the deep and curious relationship between drawing and sound. We welcome work that listens, responds, vibrates, hums, remembers, and echoes, whether through abstract expression, narrative, typography, scores, emotion, or memory.
Think of drawings that emerge from music or field recordings, the visual rhythm of a voice or a beat, the texture of silence, personal soundtracks, mixtapes, radios, the physical traces of sound and memory or the inner sound of a place, a person, a thought. Whether your work is quiet or loud, graphic or gestural, raw or refined, we want to hear it through your lines.
If you’ve been working on a series, project, or body of work where drawing connects with sound in some way - and you feel your work resonates with this theme, we would love to see it.
We're interested in different interpretations and unexpected perspectives. Surprise us!
Deadline 20th of June 2025
