Residency In Progress
Debris team are currently undertaking a residency via Brunswick Design Districts ‘Making Space’ initiative.
We were fortunate enough to be selected alongside 40 other creatives & collectives now dotted in various facilities across Brunswick. Our designated workspace is facilitated by Two Sixty’s satellite program ‘a seat at the table’, located in the tower room at Brunswick Town Hall.
What is ‘a seat at the table’?
A shared workspace, prioritising and supporting creatives, academics, and political works focused on racial and gender equity. You can apply to book your own seat, or support the important research that is happening within by making a financial contribution. All financial support directly funds the public outcomes of the long-term seat holders (e.g. racial equity talks, decolonial activism, creative exhibition or events).

Call-out
for Contributors
Debris Magazine is now calling for pitches towards Issue 02 'Hospitality'. For each issue, we commission writers & artists to respond to a theme.
Contributors are invited to interrogate the theme of hospitality from all its angles: the relationship between hospitality and inhospitableness, between being a host and being welcomed or shunned—and others we are yet to discover.
What does accommodation look like in the settler colony? What does it mean to be a host on stolen land when sovereignty, though never ceded, is frontally attacked by a settler state that exports inhospitableness—in the guise of border control—around the world? What relations of power come to the surface when we interrogate the delicate balance between host and guest? Who can extend welcome?
How did hospitality become a euphemism for an industry that is precarious and exploitative, one which during the Covid-19 pandemic, became inhospitable to those who rely on it to keep the wolves from the door?
The meaning of hospitality is expansive. The editors invite exploration of this theme through fiction, poetry, prose or graphic art. We especially welcome work from unpublished writers or those less heard from.
Guidelines:
Please submit pitches up to 250 words. The total word count for selected pieces is up to 3,000 words.
Rates:
Vary from $150 - $500
depending on the scope of the commission.
Key Dates:
Submit pitches by 10 January 2022.
Notifications of outcome by 24 January 2022.
Deadline for selected pieces 28 March 2022.
Issue 02 will be published in May 2022.
