Montreal Serai

Montreal Serai is a not-for-profit webzine focused on arts, culture and politics. For Submission guidelines, please visit http://montrealserai.com/submissions/

We began as a local theatre and arts collective that went on to produce a print magazine. Montreal Serai aims to stretch the margins with thoughtful essays, reviews, commentaries, short stories, poems, artwork, videos, music and much more. Neither strictly local, nor only current affairs, we hope to provide an alternative perspective that goes beyond mainstream concerns. We have had over 400 contributors from all over the world in our 26 year existence and an ever-increasing subscription base.

The city becomes unstable, transformed into a shifting environment where distinctions between photography and painting begin to collapse. Surface replaces structure.
