Esferas is a student and alumni initiative within New York University’s Department of Spanish & Portuguese.
We are a peer-reviewed, annual publication that publishes exceptional critical essays, visual art, creative writing, interviews, translations, and works related to Hispanic and Luso life within and beyond New York City.
Esferas, “sphere” in both Spanish and Portuguese, is the fusion of compelling images, distinctive voices, and multidisciplinary views. It is the ever-changing shape and infinite flow of our intellectual and creative pursuits.
We seek to create a shared space for artists, scholars, graduate and undergraduate students.
We accept submissions all throughout the year, and publish an issue yearly at the beginning of May. Calls for submissions begin end of May and submissions for the May issue can be presented until January 15th, 2025.
