SHERRI CAUDELL, Editor-in-chief

Design, Curation, + Editing By Sherri Caudell

I am an art critic and poet based in Atlanta, Georgia. I have a BFA in Photography from Georgia State University. During college, I worked at the Atlanta Contemporary as a Gallery Assistant. After college, I moved to NYC for seven years where I interned at Interview magazine and Harper’s Bazaar and went on to work as a Fashion Editor at W, New York, O, and Martha Stewart Weddings magazines. I returned to Atlanta where I have written art and music reviews for Burnaway, The Fanzine, and The Atlantan. I am the Editor-in-Chief of SHOCK of the FEMME magazine, which features writers and artists who are female or non-binary. Before that, I curated and hosted VIDA VOCE at Mint Gallery, which was a live series featuring women and non-binary writers, performers, artists, and musicians. I am the former Poetry Editor of Loose Change: a journal by Wonderroot. My poetry has been published in Deer, Bear, Wolf magazine, The Eyedrum Periodically, The Fanzine, and is forthcoming in Muse/A Journal. I have read my poetry at various reading series in the Atlanta area, including at MINT Gallery, Eyedrum, and at the Lostintheletters reading series.

New print available!! (link in bio) As you gaze upon the terrible(y cute) beauty of "The Girl Is So Dangerous," consider the following (mythical) self knowledge from some seriously badass women: "Women are powerful and dangerous." ~ Audre Lorde, poet, essayist, black lesbian feminist, and activist "I approach most things in life with a dangerous level of confidence to balance my generally low self-esteem." Roxane Gay, fiction writer, essayist, memoirist, and Bad Feminist "Cultivate your curves; they may be dangerous, but they won't be avoided." ~ Mae West, actress, writer, professional wit Meretseger is an Egyptian snake-headed goddess empowered to protect the Theban necropolis; her name means "she who loves silence." ~ Lisa L. Giddy, archeologist

Looking on Amazon for a mannequin bust with which to display sale scarves and encountered the “strangest” patterns. 1. “Female” forms far outweighed “male” forms. 2. White (literally colorless) forms far outweighed more phenotypically human colors. 3. The white male forms were the ones most realistically rendered and the most expensive (except for the pubescent female anime form). 4. The few women of color forms were described as realistically rendered, but mostly looked like white women in black face. 5. There were no men of color forms. 6. The only gender non-specific forms were described as children. #bodiesthatmatter #bodiesthatdontmatter . . . #andwhy

With each deep, cleansing breath, this Sleeping Beauty lifts the curse of others' ignorant judgments, magically transforming them into respectful curiosity, yearning even, for a similarly profound serenity.
