After a period of reflection, reorganization, and no small amount of enthusiasm, we’re relaunching what was formerly known as the NAFA Newsletter as ZARE: Horizons in Visual Anthropology.
New name, new format, new faces on the editorial board — but the same core drive that has animated the community of visual anthropologists for decades: connecting people across the world and keeping the conversation alive.
In the past, the NAFA newsletter was a text-packed PDF sent via academic mailing lists – you can access these older issues here.
Then we moved to this website, publishing articles and news both continuously and via quarterly email newsletters, open to anyone regardless of institutional affiliation. We were proud of that accessibility, but it left less room for the creative and editorial experimentation a publication like this can support.
So, we’ve decided to divide the work more clearly: news and updates from the world of visual anthropology will continue to flow on the website as we receive them, while a quarterly magazine will give us space to experiment with longer-form contributions, essays, and reflections. All issues of this ZARE magazine will be uploaded to this page.
We are keen to continue receiving your contributions for the magazine and news section via our submission page.
