ANNOUNCEMENT: SATURA VOLUME 6 - ON HOMENESS

We are thrilled to announce the release of Volume 6 of Satura, our cherished literary journal, under the evocative title On Homeness! Released this November, this volume explores the multifaceted dimensions of belonging in a world where the concept of home is constantly evolving.

Through a collection of poignant essays, stories, and poetry, On Homeness delves into the ways we locate ourselves — whether through faith, national identity, ancestral land, music, or a beloved dish that reflects the elusive sense of self. Home, as a physical space, is just the beginning; homeness invites readers to consider exile, pilgrimage, shelter, safety, and the unexpected places that evoke belonging.

To celebrate this milestone, we hosted a vibrant launch party at Café 19sieben, where authors and staff gathered to share readings and insights on the theme of home and belonging. The evening was alive with heartfelt discussions, creative exchanges, and a shared sense of community that perfectly mirrored the theme of the volume.

A huge thank-you to the incredible authors and our dedicated editorial team who brought On Homeness to life. Your contributions make this journey into the profound and unexpected facets of belonging a truly remarkable one.

Volume 6 of Satura is available now. Let it take you on a journey to discover where and how homeness lives for you.

Satura Volume 6: On Homeness

Call for Papers and Creative Works

On Homeness is an attempt to understand the dimensions of our belonging; whether we locate ourselves in regards to conceptions of a deity, an imagined national collective, a hectare of ancestral land, a music playlist, or a dish that accommodates one’s elusive self.. The feeling of homeness can be found in all sorts of unexpected places.

Home, as a solitary designation, implies an emphasis on the physicality of home. Beyond this outdated reality lies a plethora of unexplored emotions.

The neologism 'homeness' suggests exile, pilgrimage, shelter, safety, and beyond.

We ask you to send us your research or reflections on the physical and metaphysical realities of these states of being.
