Yes, but you cannot submit an Arrival and a Departure at the same time. You will need to complete the submission form twice.

Arrivals + Departures is a family-friendly artwork and we want this project to create a safe space for sharing births and deaths. We have therefore added a process of moderating any names containing swear words or any sexist, racist, homophobic, and other discriminatory language that are submitted as names.

At the moment of submitting a name, you will receive a notification on this site if your name has been flagged for moderation. If you supply an email address, you will be sent a message if your name is then approved and appears on the board.

If the moderator flags your name as unsuitable, and you have supplied an email address, then you will receive a message to let you know that your submission hasn't been successful. You are then welcome to submit another name.

It is possible to submit multiple names - you will need to complete a new form for each name you submit. Arrivals + Departures is intended as a platform for multiple voices so we ask you to only submit a maximum of around five names in order to leave space for others.

This depends on how busy the submissions portal is and how many names are waiting to appear before your submission.

If there is no queue, once the name has been approved by the moderator, the name will appear almost immediately. If you supply an email address, you will be sent a message when your name appears on the board.

If the name is flagged for further moderation, this may take longer.

If there is an issue with your submission during the moderation process, the name may not appear.

This depends how many and how quickly names are submitted following yours. As each new name appears at the top, your submitted name will be moved down one row on the board. If no or few names are submitted after you then your name will stay live on the board for longer.

Once your name leaves the live board, it will appear in the Archive section of the website.

If you’ve submitted a location with the arrival or departure, your name will appear permanently in the Map section of the website.

Once your submitted name has moved down the available slots and has left the boards, it will be stored in the Archive section of this website.

Yes. We welcome submissions from any location.

No. The death or Departure can be recent or historical.

Yes.

No, but they should still be alive.

While the project is active, we have a team of people regularly moderating and checking submissions to ensure that they aren’t offensive or otherwise against our moderation policy. However it’s possible that we might miss an entry – if you want to let us know of a problematic entry please email arrivalsanddepartures@artsadmin.co.uk and we will decide what action to take. Please also contact us at the same email address if you feel a name you submitted has been moderated or deleted incorrectly.
