Zine and Identity Design
2025

A zine I designed for Magdalena Poost’s collection at the Greenway Public Art, bringing together performance scripts, poetry, essays, and images from eight artists responding to the urgencies of climate change, extractive capitalism, and shifting ground beneath our feet. Inspired by Sharad Chari’s idea of earth-writing and Clara Wilch’s vision of spaciousness through the arts, it invites readers to imagine new forms of public art and shared space. More map than book, it gestures toward porous futures where creativity, infrastructure, and ecology meet.
