holding space is an artist collective, a gentle place to land, a soft workshop, a long form poem, a cold glass of water, a tender garden, an intimate altar, a container to stretch, a shared somersault, a platonic romance, a megaphone to whisper into, an open field to practice, a passed bowl of popcorn, a cozy picnic, a group chat, a weekly virtual meeting started in 2020.

this is our first time putting something tactile into the world to hold who we are at this moment [!]

in this moment it is spring 2023


repetition, sacred intention;
everything is poetry; this is ours, making marks and calling into each other; we are all each other’s inspiration, material, guides; calling yourself an artist; archival garden, collective memory, repetition: mourning, recycling, nourishment; turning back & forth and forward etc.
