Description
BlackFlash Fall 2022
Much of our fall editorial program considers the environment and how overlapping histories inform contemporary social and cultural contexts. Through conversations about the evolution of monster plants, equity in the outdoors, and the aesthetics of food and fat, these works explore the myriad of ways that we can still advocate for ourselves and the natural world.
