Rose Bogard makes functional ceramics that explore different techniques of altering clay to mimic fabric-like forms and surface textures. Qynce B. Chumley is a he/him lesbian, but only when they’re printmaking. They make comics, zines, prints, and trouble. Jorence Quiambao graduated from Kalamazoo College, where they studied Studio Art and Art History, with honors in 2022. Using queer and comic book aesthetics, their watercolor paintings narrate Filipinx mythos and folklore while also recentering and decolonizing these figures.
