Obsidian: Literature & Arts in the African Diaspora is a distinguished journal dedicated to publishing critical and creative work that engages with the African Diaspora. For this general issue, the editors are seeking drama and performance scripts that reflect the breadth and depth of diasporic experience. The journal has a long-standing commitment to showcasing innovative work that challenges conventional narratives and forms. Submissions should consist of either a one-act play or a collection of short scenes, not exceeding twenty pages, formatted in the Samuel French style. Excerpts from longer works are acceptable provided they are self-contained. There is no submission fee, ensuring accessibility for all artists. While no monetary prize is offered, publication in Obsidian provides a significant platform for visibility and engagement within a community of scholars, artists, and readers attuned to the complexities of diasporic art. The curatorial vision for this issue emphasizes work that is formally rigorous and thematically resonant. The editors are interested in scripts that explore the intersections of race, identity, history, and culture, and that demonstrate a command of dramatic craft. The journal values work that is both intellectually substantive and emotionally compelling, and that contributes to ongoing conversations in African Diaspora studies and performance.
