Good, Beautiful, Perfect, Black, Indigenous, Queer

A sacred message well-received

There is a black grassy horizon line and a mostly full red moon rising. In the circle of the moon is a young black woman in a short sleeve white shirt and a black vest. Her Right arm is raised so her hands can frame above and below a small upside down american flag. She wears a circus style top hat and a mask over the bottom half of her face that is a clown's wide smile.

Not all pulled back lips are smiles

Megan Mizanty

Let the past be an enduring reminder…

Two dancers sit on a red floor in front of a black backdrop with their hair braided into updos with cornrows. They are topless with their bare backs facing the camera, wearing black leggings. They mirror each other, leaning toward one another with one hand outstretched, resting on the other’s shoulder. The other arm arcs overhead, also in the direction of the other.

Seeking Sisterhood Amidst Unsafe Systems

Caitlin Green

The dynamic and expressive dance carries a constant groove amidst the rhythmic shifts.

Severin Blake sits on the floor in the middle of a studio space with their arms outstretched toward an audience member. Blake is surrounded by a group of people sitting on chairs and pillows with their arms outstretched as well. There is a singing bowl, some cards, and a broom head sitting on the floor at the center of the space. The studio is dimly lit with two clip lights that are mounted on the wall.

An Experimental Retelling of the Myth of the Minotaur

Caitlin Green

“I can’t wait to be eaten! …taken in whole. Digested.”

Ada Fujita lays shirtless on a bed unmade with orange and multicolored blankets. They rest their head on their hand and gaze softly down and to the side. They take up most of the image frame, visible from the waist up, their buzzed head center frame. A polished wood bedside table with potted plants, more blankets, and a stuffed animal are blurry behind them. Ada’s tattoos of leaves and line drawings interplay with the patterns of their bedding.
