I took this in Busan toward the end of my visit to Korea. I woke up almost every day with a migraine and a sore body. My PTSD symptoms were up the wazoo. I also got my period and had killer cramps. I broke out my film camera — gifted to me by a dear friend — when I had a quiet moment to myself. My sister gave me space to do my thing before we left our hotel. I sat in my feelings, in the sand, in the sun, in the water. And let myself sink into a peaceful fatigue. _____ More film photos (& art) to come. October 2018.

Funding your art is a lifelong process, and there will be many more opportunities to fund your work. Sign up for Art Granting and other Art organizations’ newsletters so you can stay in the loop for next time. • Rosey the Baker 🥖 - @furiyoshi_ & @guantesolo’s love bug

I’m feeling burnt out from all the work I’m juggling. I don’t get a weekend, and I hardly get a day off. I’m not advocating for burn out. -And- I’m learning a lot and laying down the groundwork that will hopefully make for a successful (and more restful) summer. So! I wanted to share some grant writing tips, especially to QTPOC artists. Here’s one. When writing an application for a project-based grant, an easy mistake to make is making the scope of your project *too big* for the amount of 💰 and ⌛️ allotted. It’s better to keep your project realistic than over-achieve! ________ Grace Lee Boggs portrait, circa 2017. Available as a card & as an 11x14” print.
