Hello Readers!
I'm taking a pause for the rest of 2025 to focus on a few new opportunities, including my McKnight Fellowship at Minnesota Center for Book Arts. I plan to return to publishing in 2026, and in the interim, might post some brief posts to Bluesky as I get out to exhibitions.
Stopped by UMN #KatherineNashGallery last weekend for "Vaivén: 21st-Century Art of Puerto Rico and Its Diaspora" - excellent! Recommend getting over there. Here's a small selection of the works on view:

We're currently assembling packets containing a whistle and the instructions (quick blasts for ICE spotted, long for ICE detaining someone.) Here's what we're using. (Thanks to Pilsen Arts & Community House for the flyer design in English and Spanish)

I have been soooo over-booked lately, but last weekend I squeezed in a visit to @betheluniversity.bsky.social and caught the Faculty show before it closed! There was more, but 4 is what you get on Bluesky!

We loved discussing #zines as tools of resistance + community building with @wbez.org's Sasha Ann-Simons and Oscar Arriola of ZINEmercado! ✂️
Fans say handmade paper zines more relevant than ever in an age of digital surveillance

“Zines bring people to the table and they can move people beyond, toward action,” says Cynthia Hanifin, founder of Zine Club Chicago www.wbez.org/in-the-loop-...
