Are you an anarchist artist whose rebel creations are premised on an anarcha-feminist sensibility, ethic, and/or embodied practice? And one who is queer+trans friendly!? And whose #ArtOfResistance is used on the streets, for solidarity efforts, and/or for general educating, organizing, and agitating purposes?!
I’m looking for contributions (ASAP) to an “art section” in my next edited anthology, revolving around present-day ways that folx put anarcha-feminism into practice. The book’s title is still a work-in-process, and the whole project is a labor of love, not profit (indeed, any meager royalties will be passed along to anarcha-feminist projects). One of the last pieces is this art section—made up of up to a dozen anarcha artists, each sharing one B&W image plus up to two paragraphs of “caption” alongside it.
If you want to run artwork by me, please email me at cbmilstein [at] yahoo [dot] com.
Deadline: by or before August 6.

#ArtOfResistance #FuckPatriarchy
Today was filled with conversations with various rad—aka awesome—queer, trans, and femme folks engaged in various rad—aka amazing—projects and passions here in Tio’tia:ke/Montreal (including a big anticipatory-excitement shoutout to the forthcoming @espace.lesrevoltes)!
A bit later, as I was on a long, luxurious #FuckPatriarchy walk home this evening, I couldn’t help thinking, over and over again, and with gratitude,
#AnarchafeministComradesAreBeautiful. Because so much of the beautiful collective care that goes into making this world survivable and sometimes even livable is because of the labors of anarchistic-feministic love that too often go unseen and unnoticed—and thus greatly underappreciated.
And then I spotted this little QTpie on a wall. I rarely—aka never—share stickers I see on my strolls that promote a business, unless I know, for instance, the tattoo artist. Yet somehow I suspect that this little mischievous #ACAB kewpie from @samiratattoos shares some values with the queer, trans, and femme anarchists I gayly crossed paths with today.
