Art as a Portal: Navigating Self-Discovery, Collage, and the Transformative Power of Creativity with Bosede Ajibola Opetubo
From from collages that draw us into the lush forests of queer Alabama, altars that support transdimensional communion with oneself, and poetry that ushers us through the process of reincarnation — the first issue of Queer/Trans Magic, Shapeshifting, is full to the brim with creative works that illustrate the inseparable bond between our bodies, our communities, and our landscapes. Learn more about featured artist Bosede Opetubo’s life, their creative process, and how their mixed media collages serve as a portal for healing and self-discovery in this new post on The Catalyst.
