Welcome readers to the 2019 undergraduate issue of The Quarry, ‘Zoographia’! Inspired by a recent exhibition at the Macquarie University Art Gallery, ‘Zoographia’ is a theme that is as playful and light-hearted, as it is serious. From Arachne to Spiderman, from Animal Farm to Zootopia, imagining the animal has been a rich source for storytellers and writers across the millennia. Yet so many of the stories humans tell themselves about animals are complicit with the era of mass extinction that we find ourselves in now. ‘Zoographia’ was an invitation for writers to see the world through a different lens.
The competition is open to all Faculty of Arts past and present.
The first prize is $500. All prize winners will be published in the Quarry.
The closing date for submissions is June 30th. Winners will be announced mid- September.
People can also submit more than one piece.
