Welcome back to campus! We have an exciting semester planned, and we can’t wait to share it with you. For now here are a few of the highlights coming up over the next few months:
- January 20: Moodboard Collaging (virtual)
- January 27: Tina Brazielle Guest Speaker (virtual)
- February 18: Poetic Justice
- March 9: Share Your Aura Signature Event
Also, don’t forget that submissions are open for Aura’s spring magazine! UAB as an institution is well-known for its connections to the medical field, with many students pursuing both STEM fields and creative fields. The submissions that we get from all over the Southeast tend to represent this: a beautiful amalgamation of art and science and the intersection between the two.
We aim to reflect that connection with this semester’s theme: the body. Feel free to take this theme wherever your body leads: whether you submit an art piece of a neuron, a set of portrait photographs, a poem about following your intuition, or a prose piece reflecting on ways that your body has taken care of itself, we only ask that you look within for these submissions, whatever that means for you.
Submit writing (poetry, fiction, non-fiction, etc.) or art (photography, videography, physical art, etc.) that you feel resonates with these themes. Established and emerging voices are both welcome. We look forward to hearing your unique perspective!
Submissions are due January 26th.
We are eager to see you at our events and around campus, and we can’t wait to see you published in Aura!
