Triskelion Zine - Issue 05
ZINE ISSUE 05:
from 10.00
Guest Curated by Curtis Thomas, the artists in these pages offer generous reflections, proclamations, whispers, and balms. Opportunities to fall into questions, and to examine our own personal geographies of community, pain, and clearing. These works reveal the ways in which we come together and the anchoring we take in the people who surround us physically and emotionally. In this time of reckoning, questioning and sorrow these artists have offered ways of weathering, of seeing, of coping, and of loving.
Film, art, movement & poetry by:
Tabitha Austin
Miguel Alejandro Castillo
Joy Davis
Symara Johnson
Maurya Kerr
Aida Rodríguez de Le Maitre (Tata)
All proceeds go directly to the artists!

The audience will be guided through the pre-set path with the help of an audio experience presented via their smartphones. All guests will be asked to remain in their cars during the art experience which will span about one hour.
Participating artists include: JM Askew and Casey Malone, Amy Bagwell, Renee Cloud, de’Angelo Dia, Ghost Trees, Eric Mullis and Joy Davis, Matt Steele and Ben Geller, and XOXO.
