CCP calls for submissions to the ANI 40 journal

THE Intertextual Division of the Cultural Center of the Philippines is now accepting submissions to the ANI 40 with the theme “Katutubo.” The volume which will be launched in September 2018 will contain essays, poems, short stories and other genres that shed light on the indigenous Filipino’s fight and stand for their ancestral land.

In a release forwarded by the CCP Intertextual Division, Ani seeks to change the notion that the indigenous or the “katutubo” are only the purists who continue to live for and affirm the role of culture and indigenous traditions present before the colonization. We seldom realize that even the indigenous evolves. The katutubo referred in the upcoming journal is no longer limited to the IP communities and their cultures and tradition, but to every Filipino who flourishes and identifies their culture with that of the land.

Submissions may be in Filipino, English or any local Filipino language provided that it has a translation in either Filipino or English. Entries must be typed in Arial or Times New Roman typeface (12 pts), double spaced, on a 8.5 inch x 11 inch paper, with a bionote and photo of the author. Deadline of submission is on December 31, 2017.

For more information, call Sam Ramos or Marjorie Almazan of the CCP Intertextual Division through 551-5959 or 09193175708 or email anijournal@yahoo.com.
