OUTsider 2027 – “Dreaming Us into Being” is a call for submissions for the Outsider Festival, taking place March 5‑7 2027 at The VORTEX in Austin, Texas. The festival seeks queer and trans creatives whose work imagines liberated futures through world‑building, drawing on ancestral knowledge and radical imagination. Submissions of any artistic media are welcome, though the festival’s capacity is limited to time‑based arts. Strong consideration is given to works from marginalized subjectivities, including race, gender, sexuality, ability, size, generation, migratory status, and nation. Selected works will be presented during the three‑day festival, offering exposure, networking, and participation in a community‑focused event. No application fee is required.
