Call for Entries: Crypto-Judaic Artwork

Deadline for final submissions: July 1, 2013

HaLapid: Journal of the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies (SJCS) is seeking artistic submissions in the form of paintings, drawings, photographs, etc. to feature on the cover of its next volume. We invite artists’ submissions on a variety of themes pertaining to crypto-Judaism, crypto-Jews, and/or crypto-Jewishness. Artists dealing with aspects of the Sephardic experience or crypto-Jews in the American Southwest are also welcome. If you have a collection of crypto-Jewish themed art, we will likely want to feature an article of you and your art in HaLapid as well.

HaLapid is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, published by the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies, which is affiliated with the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. HaLapid focuses on the contemporary and historic development of crypto-Jews, particularly those of Iberian origin. We feature academic as well as artistic and literary content. We are a non-sectarian scholarly society.
