invites writers to submit an Expression of Interest for publication in 鈥�Do you get it?鈥澛�
Co-edited by Eleen Deprez and Una Rey
Issue 46:2 | Wirltuti / Spring (August 鈥� November 2026)
As global crises escalate, issue 46:2 focusses on wit, humour, and satire in contemporary art as a means to subvert, unsettle, and criticise鈥� and to have a good laugh. The writing will also explore the ethical and paradoxical nature of comedy in art, who鈥檚 telling the joke and how, and where we might find shared punchlines as our collective humanity is being interrogated from all sides. In the seriousness and complexity of such precarity, can we afford the joke at all?
The editors encourage inventive responses to the theme and welcome a range of formats: scholarly (or witty) essays, critical (or ironic) reviews, (provocative) interviews and co-authored submissions. Artlink highlights writers and artists, curators, and collectives working in Australia and the Asia-Pacific within a global context. We commission articles between 800鈥�3000 words for print and digital publication.
