A Word From Our Editors
2025 was one of our most substantial years regarding the sheer volume our community submitted to the CLAMOR journal. We sincerely appreciate those who decided to share their talent with us for publication. We are excited to share it all with you, our readers!
This year is our 19th edition of the CLAMOR journal, and we hope to continue to provide a space for the creatives in the University of Washington Bothell community to uplift their works. As your editors for 2025, what we present to you now is the result of a year’s hard work: a collection of some of the best artworks in Bothell.
Our editorial team had an in-depth conversation about whether or not to include content warnings. We discussed the potential impact these warnings might have on the viewer’s experience and whether they might lessen the emotional power of the pieces. Overall, we decided it would be more beneficial for our viewers to include them. We believe providing them is important in creating a journal space that is thoughtful, respectful, and inclusive of all readers, especially those who may be affected by certain themes. Including this discussion in our letter reflects the care and intention behind how we chose to operate this year’s journal. As you enter our journal, here is a list of possible content warnings for this year’s edition:
- Blood
- Hate speech
- Homophobia/transphobia
- Mental health
- Misogyny/sexism
- Pornographic content
- Racism
- Sexual assault
- Suicide
- Violence or self-harm
- OD/Drug Abuse
- Animal Cruelty
- Child Abuse
- Ableism
- Religious Indoctrination/Trauma
We are grateful for those in the community who have shared the right to publish their art. Additionally, we look forward to seeing what future talents bring to CLAMOR’s subsequent editions!
Lastly, we would like to thank our faculty advisor, Ching-In Chen, and our program manager, Michael Gumayan. They both have dedicated countless hours to provide the team with opportunities to learn professionally through Student Media.
Thank you for being part of the CLAMOR Community, and we hope you enjoy our 19th edition!
Sincerely,
The 2025 CLAMOR Editors
