For our first themed volume, Pleasure, we have gathered artwork and texts by BIPOC creators demonstrating joy, desire, and intimacy. These are acts of defiance. They are acts of time travel; sentimentality; criticality. As responses to lived experiences of diaspora and displacement, these artworks and writings carve a space to ruminate, to return, and to lean into the sweet, erotic, and dissident undertones of what it means to extend oneself in the pursuit of pleasure.
