Continuing with September’s Quaker Arts issue:
“Art Is Praying with My Whole Body.” Cai Quirk’s journeys as a lifelong Quaker, artist, and gender-diverse person are inextricably linked. Cai submitted two articles to us: this text exploration of their work and a series of photos titled “Transcendence.” We liked them so much we decided to publish both (one online and the other both in print and online). Unbeknownst to me, Cai also submitted a poem, which our poetry editor chose. When it came time to decide on a cover, Cai’s photos stood out more than any of the other selections we tested out. I’m pretty sure we’ve never had someone appear in so many forms before.
“It’s Not a Luxury: Eight Quaker Artists on the Healing Power of Art.” Johanna Jackson spent time with several Quaker artists, asking them about their art and spiritual practice during the pandemic.
