Remembering One’s Own: Answering the Call of Spirit

Anh-Hoa Thi Nguyen
A gray hare stands on a line drawing of scaffolding, holding out a white spoon with a red cherry to a kneeling young person with tan skin, brown hair, and a pink dress. A hare with a noose around its neck sits between them. Red block letters with the word “LOVE” stand in the background, beside a snarling coyote holding a blue rooster in its mouth.

A collage featuring three tarot cards in the left corner: the Four of Pentacles, Five of Cups and the Wheel of Fortune. In the right corner there is light-skinned black femme with teary eyes and the words "The EARTH inside you was stolen from me" written across their forehead. The bottom of the collage is various types of foliage and a path surrounded by trees. In the bottom right the phrase "i still say your name when i pray" is repeated three times.

In the face of Black death, I perpetually find myself slipping into an alternate dimension

Teighlor McGee
There are two images of Baki layered onto one another. The first one that captures your eye is of Baki in 2017. Their Afro is luscious and as Black and youthful as they were at the time. Half of their face is covered by the shadow of a palm leaf. The second photo is a smaller portrait of Baki this year. Side eyeing the camera there is age there. They have red and blonde braids and half of their face is covered by the shadows of crab apples. The second photo is placed so their eye meets their right nostril in the first one.

Stars in My Mind Like Pockets of Decay

Aegor Ray
A painting of the George Floyd mural remade with a white figure in the center and text reading "THE BLACK EXPERIENCE VIA THE WHITE GAZE". Additional text reads, “Centering white voices around Black trauma does not allow for the accurate representation of our experiences or the accurate documentation of our history.”

Two figures, shaded by colorful hues of blue, green and pink, are seen floating in a cosmos linked together by a water-bearing object, one figure is wielding a flag. From their posture, slightly bent, they would appear to be elderly, ancestral. Around the figures two planets are connected by streams of blue line.
