Queer Out Here Issue 10 / Side A is out

An audio zine exploring the outdoors from queer perspectives. Side A explores themes of liminality: the betweenness of times and spaces, ways we merge with the more-than-human world, moments of pause and flux in our lives and identities. Side B will be released soon.

Covers by Sixto-Juan Zavala (he/they) @sjzavala — designer, illustrator, storyteller, and returning QOH contributor. Sixto-Juan created the covers using Rhizomatic, an experimental typeface he designed with Misa Yamamoto @misaeatsyourface as collaborators in @essentialscreative for an installation at Chicago Botanic Garden. @chicagobotanic

On the typeface: “The rhizome is a non-hierarchical structure that allows for multiple outputs without a central structure. An example of a rhizomatic model is the internet; an example of a rhizomatous plant is an iris. The typeface combines geometric and organic forms, referencing digital as well as biological rhizomes. Deleuze and Guattari’s theories of the rhizome have been widely applied by many queer theorists.”

On the covers: “These designs reference organic forms of plants as well as the digital media we use to create and edit our stories. Plants carry a significant impact in my outdoor experiences so I wanted to feature them in the cover design.”

“All Boats Bloom”, 2026
TEMPO Public Art Project
@thetrailconservancy
Video by @essentialscreative
Cover photo by @aerialaustin_

All Boats Bloom is a site-specific installation exploring community, migration, and our shared connection to nature. Boats—symbols of passage, protection, and possibility—anchor the work. Over the course of a year, the installation evolves through gardening, performances, and gatherings that activate the space. Together, these moments invite reflection on unity, diversity, and our collective responsibility to ensure all communities thrive and bloom.

Celebrate TEMPO on the Trail this Saturday
April 11, 9-11 AM
At the Seaholm Waterfront

Join The Trail Conservancy (TTC) and Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment’s Art in Public Places (AIPP) for the opening celebration of nine new installations along the Ann & Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail.

This open-house-style celebration invites you to explore, connect, and experience the intersection of art and the Trail. Meet TEMPO on the Trail artists, hear from project partners, and hop on a walking or bike tour to see the installations firsthand.

Thank you to the team @essentialscreative for documenting the process, from harvesting the bamboo, hand building the sculptures, and planting the garden. They will be capturing this evolving year long project and programming, which include performances from Austin artists to activate the space and bring community together.

Special thanks to my team!!!
@ashwolff.art for your collaboration on the garden, my heavy lifting crew harvesting the bamboo @matt.tully.nyc @chaseallanterry Vaughn and Clark, and so much love and gratitude to my greatest supporter and second pair of hands @slevijones ❤️❤️❤️

I could not have completed this project without you! It truly takes a village!!!!

The monarchs came back to Mexico this winter. 64% increase this season. Homero Gómez González fought to keep loggers out of these forests. He was found dead in 2020. The butterflies came back to the forests he protected. The ancestors brought them home.

AI generated sexual abuse is not inevitable. It is being built, hosted, scaled, and monetized. ❌

🔥@reprouncensored and @weareultraviolet are launching a public reporting tool designed to expose and map the deepfake ecosystem, and we need your help.🙏

⚠️🚀The campaign premiered at @SXSW in Austin with a public WiFi intervention and public projections throughout the city, with the projections also part of our broader work with @sistersong and drawings by @chalkbackorg from NYC.

🤳The WiFi intervention recreated a “free WiFi” network that, when accessed, prompted audiences to confront real prompts used to generate AI sexual abuse.

⚠️Every single day, women and girls are bearing the brunt of this abuse while companies like Google, Apple, and xAI continue to fuel and profit from it in the name of our so called “AI future.”

🛑In an 11 day period alone between December 2025 and January 2026, an estimated 3 million individuals, including 23,000 children, were sexually deepfaked through xAI’s Grok chatbot. And that was just one app among many.
