Issue 07: Rooting
Fall 2021
$18.00
“Rooting” is a site for exploring all that cannot be seen at the surface. It is a space for highlighting the hidden connections, histories, and shared networks of knowledge that make our creative community flourish. Within these pages, artists, writers, community organizers, and scholars reflect on what it means to “root” in their own sites, communities, and practices.
