Queer.Archive.Work #3 (Urgentcraft) brought together 18 artists and writers who prioritize maintenance as a form of urgency. Upon receipt, the publication e x p a n d s in the hands of its reader, filling an enormous space with queer feeling. It shapes a landscape that speaks of visibility, of a commitment to pleasure, of kinship networks, of memory, of closely re-written histories, of engaged dialogue, of riptides, of affective space beyond the material, of a failed, imperfect read. My goal for this publication was to model communal care as a never-ending practice.

Contributors: arthur katrina, Autumn Knight, Daedalus Li, Kelsey Sucena, Kirslyn Schell-Smith, Lucas LaRochelle, Malcolm Rio (RIO ULTRAOMNI), Olive Godlee, Parker Bright, Paul Soulellis, Qualeasha Wood, Rin Kim with Malachi the Moth, Candex Louie, and Bri, Ron Morrison, Sheida Soleimani, Shiv Kotecha, Sophia LaFraga.
