"The queer community is lucky to have Sharon on our side, using her
skills and passions to create a better world for all of us."-Alison
Bechdel, author of Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic A collection of
lively autobiographical comics guiding the reader through an
understanding of queerness and what it means to one woman of color.
In this delightfully compelling full-color graphic memoir, the
author shares her process of undoing the effects of a patriarchal,
colonial society on her self-image, her sexuality, and her concept
of freedom. Reflecting on the ways in which oppression was the
cause for her late bloom into queerness, we are invited to discover
people and things in the author's life that helped shape and inform
her LGBTQ identity. And we come to an understanding of her holistic
definition of queerness.

This book on Stephen Willats pulls together key strands of his
practice and threads them through histories of British cybernetics,
experimental art, and urban design. For Willats, a cluster of
concepts about control and feedback within living and machine
systems (cybernetics) offered a new means to make art relevant. For
decades, Willats has built relationships through art with people in
tower blocks, underground clubs, middle-class enclaves, and
warehouses on the Isle of Dogs, to investigate their current
conditions and future possibilities. Sharon Irish’s study
demonstrates the power of Willats’s multi-media art to catalyze
communication among participants and to upend ideas about
“audience” and “art.” Here, Irish argues that it is artists
like Willats who are now the instigators of social transformation.
The only bridge between past and future is a leap of faith. Pursued
by enemies, exiled Liaden Clan Korval is settling into a new base
on backworld Surebleak. Moving is expensive, as is war, and Korval
is strapped for cash. Delm Korval has therefore instr
