Alex Sullivan is a poet, facilitator, activist, and educator who recently moved to Chicago, IL. They are currently the Founder of Artists Call to Action (ACTA), an associate editor for Quaranzine: Art in Isolation, and freelance copyeditor. As a mixed agender human being who has been recently transplanted, Alex’s work is often reflective of how the self is presented in the digital world and how current socio-political events can distort that presentation. Through their work, they explore the tension between the colonized and indigenous self, and how the community can make or break one’s social identity. Having grown up on the fringes of their own communities, Alex often brings a sense of the alien and otherworldliness to their work, utilizing outer space and sacred spaces as a constant muse. We cannot wait to share with you Alex's fanfiction piece for our zine!  For more info on their work:  https://www.actartist.com

About

In From the Storm zine highlights Black women in comics and sci-fi. The fanzine is for and by Black womxn featuring original artwork, interviews and cultural criticism. These characters and their stories are for us and about us and our opinions about them matter. The name pays homage to the most mainstream Black heroine in comics, Storm from the X-Men, but the name is also about finding refuge. In a world where Black womxn constantly deal with racism and sexism among other inequalities and acts of violence, I hope that this space can be a refuge and show that Black womxn opinions matter. In the wonderful world of comics, we can see the world how we want it to be. When we see these dynamic characters that reflect us, it gives us even more power, validation and hope.

Want to be a contributor?

We are looking to connect with other black womxn who are digital artists and writers that can be contributors to our project. Not only do we strive to highlight Black women in comics but also the works of black womxn writers, artists, cosplayer & other creatives.
