Still overflowing with gratitude for the people who organized, tabled at, and came to this weekend. Thank you all for the inspo and love. Featured art on this post from a dear young person who stopped by the booth, and Hamlet The Dog who was so eager to make a zine she put her nose right in the collage supplies. 💕

📣 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT! 🎉

Esse () grew up on Dena’ina land and is grateful to have always called Alaska home. They are a q***r, neurodivergent multi-media artist, educator, and survivor whose creative passions include collage, painting, zines, costumery, storytelling, and ceremony. Gemini sun, Scorpio moon, and Capricorn rising, Esse is drawn to contradictions, unsolvable questions, and things in transition. Their art often explores themes of human fragility and resilience, trauma and healing, griefwork and recovery. In the summer, they can be found frolicking in the flowers, harvesting medicinal teas, dreaming about blueberries, and belly laughing. Their greatest joy right now is tending to q***r friendships that are rooted in care, resistance, and creativity.

The new issue (launching this Friday at The Nave!!) features a collage from — here’s what she has to say about this behind the scenes moment:

“This is from a craft night that I hosted in the rec room of my housing co-op! Making art in community is pretty much the only way I actually sit down and do it, and I’m so grateful for the group of crafters that has come together to do this together over the years! All are welcome to join our WhatsApp group, just dm me !!”
