The next issue of EMA magazine - Emanate, will be published in spring 2010. Submit your articles and photos until March 1st, 2010, and use your chance to share your thoughts with the EMA members in the new issue!
The theme for the fourth issue of Emanate is "Dancing through the world".
The dance is interior and exterior, a psychological and physical motion and its expression can shift, transfer and send messages in a very powerful way. We have chosen to give dancing turn to this topic because the dance is also an aesthetic metaphor of how we gain and give knowledge of life in the world existing around us that challenges us to think and reflect not anymore in globalized terms but to understand each other personally, to discover cultures world wide, to gain information about science, medicine, art, informatics, technology, nature, crisis, viruses, environment, energy and geopolitics individually and with greater commitment and curiosity in order to make this world a better place for living and creating. The theme focus is from a bigger planet to a small world because through dialogue and the processes of globalization the world is indeed becoming smaller. Due to this shrinking world, it is actually expanding for many of us: we can get out of our small community we live in and explore the otherness worldwide. On the other hand, while some parts of the world are getting closer, there are others which are completely falling off the map and do not by far experience the kind of development enjoyed by the developed world. Besides, with this topic we want to enlarge the scale, the panoramic and the perspective of free photographic and textual interpretations of various disciplines where we are "dancing" celebrating differences.
