"Coordinates," a digital multi-media magazine jointly published by World BEYOND War and The Sahira Collective

I’m thrilled to announce the publication of “Coordinates,” a digital multi-media magazine jointly published by World BEYOND War and The Sahira Collective. A curated collection of powerful poems, essays, and artwork from creatives around the world, “Coordinates” explores the meaning of home and what remains of it after war and violent conflict.

The word “Coordinates” brings to mind maps, movement, and fleeting junctures along a journey – like signposts of place and memory. This theme explores the multifaceted notion of ‘home,’ shaped by both physical and emotional geographies, especially in times of displacement and conflict. 

This issue looks at how war can unsettle, uproot, and even erase the places we once called home. It also honors the migrations that ripple through generations, each one a testament to how home is not always found, but forged again and again. It asks: where do we find ourselves on the map when home is gone? And how do we re-draw our own coordinates in the aftermath?

I was deeply moved by the responses from writers and artists who bared their hearts in their submissions. If you feel similarly, I invite you to share the digital magazine with your networks by forwarding this email to your contacts, and sharing our posts on Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Bluesky.

Towards peace,
