Culture Witness was created to give a voice to those who have learned to stay silent. Culture Witness will publish articles, reflections and observations by ordinary citizens. If you have something to say, but have never published anywhere before, consider Culture Witness.
Because of the times we live in, we permit the use of pseudonyms. You must submit your piece under your own name (your name will be protected), but you can then choose to publish it under an alias (the same alias for all your pieces).
