Xone is a love-driven zine designed and curated by Queer and Trans People of Color (QTPOC). We believe in the restorative powers of community art-making and storytelling.
In our third issue, we highlight the range of QTPOC existence by exploring spectrums of identity. Our individuality, our designated identities, the meshing of our past and future, and the incidence of our existence: every person is comprised of infinite spectrums.
We invite you to push boundaries and explore the way you define yourself and your community. Dissolve your limits, question absolutes, and welcome the idea that your life may shift over the spectrum of possibility.
highlighted Contributors
This issue is special because for the first time, thanks to all the support from our community, Xone has been able to pay our contributors. We know that no amount can truly compensate for this labor of vulnerability, but we are proud to support our community and give back within our capacity. Our team thanks you for your support of the QTPOC creators that we have highlighted within our zine.
