contributor statements

soul (they/them)

Around two years ago, I met Sara. Bad news, she broke my heart; good news, even though it was the first time i had to come to terms with my sexuality, I wasn't scared of its implications. I had friends that supported me and I never felt like I owed people any explanation or 'coming out' acts. Unluckily, I know that might not be the case for everyone. Whenever I am able to give out a message for the queer community, I hope the thing that sticks the most is that you don't owe anything to anyone but yourself and that the fear that people so fervently try to get into us doesn't have to be your own.

Bleu Tooth, They/She/It

I love creating vibrant, provocative works, and exploring taboo themes such as nudity and queer identity. As someone who has worked as a model and sex worker I find the fetishizing and judgement of trans bodies and identities ridiculously fascinating. My body and existence are inherently 'political', and I can't imagine anything more empowering than facing that criticism with a sense of selflove and shameless pride.

isaac (they/them)

Isaac is a nonbinary and queer artist and writer who uses their identity to experience life to its fullest and question everyday norms. They seek to bring about joy, reflection, and a sense of community with their works.

Embie (she, they)

Sexual revolution is taking all those scantily scribbled postit notes in the hidden shoebox of your mind and reading them in the mirror. Breathe through that shaky handwriting, past the "what ifs" and "I don't knows," and into "fuck this, I'm gonna stick these on my window."

stana (she/her)

sex is the best conversation, it's play it's art and it's queer

Indigo xey/xem

Adriel Gonzalez (he/they) and Ru (they/them)

We are two non-binary tentacle-loving artists from the Boston area.

When I exchange and participate in the creation of queer & trans art with the beautiful gay people in my life, I feel a little more whole, real, seen, and otherwise: wicked fruity. I love writing our intimacies into public memory.
