About the magazine

Pink Disco is an online magazine and curatorial platform founded in 2015 by artists and writers seeking a space for critical, experimental, and interdisciplinary work. Its name, a wry nod to the collision of pop culture and critical theory, signals an editorial ethos that takes pleasure seriously without sacrificing rigor. The magazine publishes essays, interviews, and artist projects that often blur the line between criticism and creative practice, with a particular emphasis on emerging voices and under-represented perspectives in contemporary art and literature. Over time, Pink Disco has expanded its mission to include curatorial initiatives, residencies, and public programs, all aimed at fostering a community of thinkers who approach art and writing as intertwined modes of inquiry.

Artists and writers should approach Pink Disco with a clear sense of its interdisciplinary and experimental bent. Submissions are typically open for themed issues or ongoing online content, so reviewing recent publications is essential to understand the current editorial focus. Work that engages critically with contemporary culture, blurs genre boundaries, or explores the intersections of art, writing, and theory is most likely to resonate. While the platform is open to emerging voices, it values polished, conceptually grounded proposals. For curatorial or residency opportunities, a strong project narrative and alignment with Pink Disco's ethos of playful rigor are key. Response times can vary, so patience and thorough proofreading are advised.

Though our publication is primarily focused on sex, sexuality and the body, we are looking for work that explores these aspects in order to reveal something about the human condition. In other words, we welcome explicit, transgressive, and taboo subject matter but we want it rooted in carefully crafted images, precise language, and well-developed character.
