[Id]entidad is a student-focused collaborative non-fiction journal project where individuals can express themselves creatively through literary styles, artistic techniques, and digital media by telling stories of themselves: their history, ideals, cultural expressions, and other aspects of what they consider to be part of “identity.”  The goal of this project is to create a community of people and a consciousness about issues, situations, the reality that reigns in every human being, and how each individual defines life based on their experiences.

As the name of this project suggests, we are interested in how you define what constructs individuals. More than just a word, the concept evoked refers to the philosophy this project attempts to fulfill: the experience of human life. Each page of the project will contain a different view of life—individual experiences that will be appreciated in some way as audience members are able to establish relationships with each piece.

[Id]entidad is updated online bi-monthly and will be available in print by request. This project explores the limits of non-fiction by using different and mixed genres, including art and photography. Collaborators are welcome to use English or Spanish in their submissions; nevertheless, other languages are welcome as long as translations in either English or Spanish are included. The language restrictions in this project are limited to how creative you are in using language itself; in other words, no submission will be discarded for the language that its author chooses to use.
