Denver Quarterly seeks to offer a platform for rich dialogue between two or more entities. This may include authors, practitioners from other artistic disciplines, or compelling figures in any discipline, practice, or trade, and may be orchestrated around a specific topic. Conversations should stimulate discussion around issues relevant to contemporary artistic life and production, offer insightful or challenging reflections (or both), or otherwise engage generative substance for our readership. Feel free to email us at denverquarterly@gmail.com to pitch conversation ideas or ask any questions.

DQ's 2022-23 Editorial Assistants in Conversations are Frankie Beasley and Nazli Koca.
