It is my great pleasure to introduce you to LOOM RADIANT, an ongoing art series showcasing the work of multimedia artists of color.
Every few months, we will be publishing city-specific folios of experimental, diverse, and crucial work by artists of color & queer artists around the nation. While we are proud of our regularly released issues, we want to acknowledge, celebrate, & share the wide-reaching work artists of color are creating on a daily basis. These beautiful creators have proven, time & time again, that art never has to be constrained to a single medium. We want to expose, introduce & remind our readers of the boundless nature of art & artistry.
​
We invite you to read, listen, watch, contemplate.
Engage, engage, engage.
If you enjoy this project half as much as I've enjoyed designing it, I think you'll come out just fine on the other side.

The title was inspired by Jess X. Chen's poem, "The Resistance of the Angler Fish," published in The Offing.
