Excited to share this finally — the new issue of @dilettantearmy is LIVE (link in bio)! AND, I was so honored to do all the illustrations for this issue, which is packed with really cool analysis and perspectives! A HUGE thank you to editor-in-chief @saraclugage, and editor Christine Elliott, for all the help, the lively discussions and teamwork ❤️ And congrats to the talented writers who enriched my life! Will be sharing more of the illos throughout the week, but here’s their synopsis: . This issue explores clubs, which are (mostly) great! How do we build kinship and community through organizing around our common interests? How do clubs foster inclusion, and what if they also cultivate exclusion and in-group bias? IN THIS ISSUE: . Sarah Warren on sixties-era Hudson Valley counterculture communities and the "dark matter" of amateur craft clubs @sarahjdubs @purchasearthistory . Kelly M. Britt on the United Order of Tents, a Black women's secret fraternal order founded in the mid-19th century, and their Brooklyn clubhouse @kellush888 @bklyncollege411 . Christine Elliott's interview with Anayvette Martinez, a co-founder of the Radical Monarchs, an alternative to traditional scouting troops that centers the experiences of young girls of color @radicalmonarchs @anayvettemartinez. . Ariel Yelen's ekphrastic poem on secret language, in response to Gala Porras-Kim's sculptural series "La Mojarra Stela 1," now at the Whitney Biennial @arielyelen @itsgala . LJ Roberts’s collaged image essay on the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, addressing the shifting histories and bodies that find refuge in gay clubs @atelier.lj . Annette LePique on the enduring marketing appeal of "Fight Club" and its common narrative with the "crisis of masculinity" aggravated by neoliberal economics . All thoughtfully and beautifully illustrated by Sirin Thada @sirinthada . . . . . #sirinthada #dilettantearmy #illustration #editorialillustration #illustratorsoninstagram #illustragram #magazineillustration #illustrated #clubs #diversity #inclusion #representationmatters #litmag #writersofig https://www.instagram.com/p/B0j_EtvnsxJ/?igshid=wt2q484oz782

Meet Oakland’s Radical Monarchs. They are a revolutionary twist on the traditional girls club. Sporting brown berets in homage to the 1960s activist groups the Brown Berets and the Black Panthers, the Radical Monarchs provide a safe place for young girls of color, ages 8 through 12, to explore social-justice issues affecting racially diverse communities in the United States. . . . #Womensday #Teacher #Student #Education #America #School #Equality #culture #heritage #family #love #peace #freedom #multicultural #resist #iteachtoo #teachersofinstagram #whm #RadicalMonarchs #womansmarch #teachersfollowteachers #inclusion

A new documentary! "The Radical Monarchs is an alternative to the Scout movement for girls of colour in Oakland, California. Its members earn badges not for sewing or selling cookies, but for completing challenges on social justice including Black Lives Matter, ‘radical beauty’, being ‘an LGBTQ ally’ and the environment. Dressed in berets and uniforms, the Radical Monarchs show us the neighbourhood where the Black Panther movement was born and meet veterans of the struggle against racism. The group was started by parents concerned that their daughters were being denied access to a fuller understanding of the issues affecting mostly black and Latino communities. The group, open to girls aged between eight and 12, aims to provide the same fun as other girl groups, while also building their pride in being young girls of colour and teaching respect for everyone else." #RadicalMonarchs #RadicalBrownies http://ift.tt/2iLquo9

Yes and more yes. #gingeradventures #joy. #Repost @womensmarch with @repostapp ・・・ One of our favorite writers, Ashley C Ford (@smashfizzle), wrote: "I have been thinking a lot about how to prepare for the worst, how to fight for justice, and how to change the world. And I have also been thinking about my duty to make room for the good times, because nobody is meant only to fight. And joy from the margins is radical. I've been reading the books I miss reading because they remind me--with each sentence--of the kind of girl I used to be and the kind of woman I always wanted to be. I am still making room for her. And for joy. And for you." (📷 via @radicalmonarchs)

I'm so proud of both @radicalmonarchs and @hanecdote this made my heart smile so big and agh just so beautiful to see girls learn about their culture and why being a brown girl is an amazing thing "learning about race and gender is vital to people growing up more loving and accepting of themselves and others , knowledge is power" and a agree with Hannah. Fox News just ugh I don't even know bothers me that they think this exploitation , you go for you got this I love y'all!!!!

Spent the morning with the Radical Monarchs talking a bit about the way I came to making art, how I work collaboratively and ended with a short print demo. The Monarchs then printed some posters. I learned alot being with them and continue to be inspired by their leadership! #radicalmonarchs #screenprinting #art
