Being & Becoming: Interviews on Queer Representation & Care as a Guide for Liberatory Creative Work
Leeway grantee Eva Wo (LTA '17) has published a zine! Being & Becoming is a collection of interviews regarding queer visibility, representation, and authorship in media; and a Care Guide for white and non-Black PoC artists who are committed to the work of dismantling white supremacy and transphobia in their work. Wo argues that we must use our critical politics to inform how we create systems of care, radical inclusivity, shapeshifting to evade commodification, and embodying a constant state of becoming in dismantling white supremacist patriarchal capitalism with art.
Curated by Daniel Tucker as part of Power Maps project with Mural Arts, the zine features interviews with Mx. Abdul-Aliy A. Muhammad, Andrea Jácome, Bryan Oliver Green, Carol Zou, Coda Wei (ACG ’16), Darius McLean, Dev, Fortune/Andrienne Palchick, Heidi Ratanavanich, and Connie Yu (ACG ’19), Heart Byrne (ACG ’19), Ixa, Malachi Lily, Noemi Charlotte Thieves (ACG ’19), ociele hawkins, Raani Begum, Tristan “TK” Morton, & Zuri Love.
