OUR LATEST ISSUE

The Fluid By Nature issue is here!

From the minds of the inaugural cohort of the Luminary Editorial Incubator, SISTORIES brings you the Fluid By Nature: Texture, Memory, & Ecology of the Black South issue. 

Rooted in the multitudes of being that Black queer southerness creates, Fluid by Nature is a reminder that the South — as land, home, space, Spirit channel — remains expansive in its histories, archives, complexities, and ecologies. This collection of explores questions like, "What constitutes your Black Southern ecosystem? What textures, sights, sounds, designs, ecologies, and memories color or haunt your understanding of the South? What do the sky, the trees, the water, the body remember?"

SISTORIES is a queer Black feminist storysharing organization that recognizes reflexive storytelling as an ancestral healing tool. We produce multimedia storysharing spaces for southern Black women to explore sites of recovery and resistance in our stories.
