About the magazine

Between the Mangroves is an online platform and curatorial project that takes its name from the liminal, intertidal zones where land and water meet—spaces of transition, resilience, and hidden biodiversity. Founded as a response to the increasingly homogenized digital art landscape, it seeks to cultivate a slower, more attentive mode of engagement with contemporary art and photography. The project operates without a physical venue, instead using the internet as a site for intimate, thematic group exhibitions and publications that foreground process, ecological thinking, and the poetics of place. Its core mission is to provide a counterpoint to the attention economy by fostering sustained looking and critical dialogue among a dispersed community of artists, writers, and curators.

Submitting your work

Reading periodCloses in 10 days

Artists should approach Between the Mangroves with a clear sense of how their work engages with themes of liminality, ecology, or slow observation. The platform favors cohesive bodies of work over single images, and proposals should articulate a thoughtful curatorial concept rather than a portfolio dump. Given its online nature, ensure that digital documentation is high-quality and that the work translates well to screen-based viewing. While there is no formal application window, periodic open calls are announced via social media and newsletters; subscribing to these channels is essential. Response times can be slow, reflecting the project's deliberate pace, so patience is advised.
