Astral Cherry Healing Arts is announcing the call for submissions for the second issue of the Queer/Trans Magic Magazine! The zine is a growing collection of creative works that explore, honor, and transform lineages of queer magic & resilience.

The theme is Luxuria (Desire/Lust/Luxury/Excess). This edition asks: how do we nourish ourselves with reckless abandon? How do we reclaim and reintegrate our desire from suppression? How do we lavish in pleasure and play? How can we uproot and transform shameful and oppressive relationships to desire, lust, luxury, and excess into something completely new?

This project includes writings, art exhibit, documentary, a book. Will focus on art making & writing that show how incarceration has impacted families & communities who are related. Responding to the question - How we can use art to protest, process, & object to How Incarceration Affects Families & Communities? Along with offering written works & art that take up the subject, we will create a documentary, and post our outcome online to show our discussion of the ethics of representation, & what it means to write about and make art about this violence & trauma, neglect & damage of people incarcerated & their families/communities.
