Attention: Bohema Magazine Calls for Collaboration!

We’re opening up space for collaboration with authors, poets, photographers, musicians, thinkers, and artists who feel restless, unseen, unboxed. If your work bends form and invites reflection, we want to read, see, and hear it.

Each issue of Bohema reinvents itself around a theme — a lens for exploring art, society, and imagination.

Upcoming focus: City, Theatre, Memory 

You may respond to this theme or propose your own vision if it resonates with the spirit of Bohema. Surprise us — we’re open to forms that move between text, image, and sound.

  • Deadline: September 20, 2025

  • Length: 800–1200 words
