Resistance Garden: Waning Moon
A Project of the Painted Bride, illustrated by Sophie SarkarZine, Philadelphia
2023
In 2022 and 2023, The Painted Bride partnered with land stewards and artists to create zines with educational, creative, and cultural content that were distributed for free across Philadelphia gardens, libraries, and cultural centers. I had the honor of illustrating one of the zines in the Resistance Garden Series: Waning Moon.
“The Resistance Garden Project grows from our desire to critically examine and redefine our relationships with nature, farming, food politics, and the histories of vegetable and herb cultivation across different cultures. Here, these themes meet through art.
The Bride is committed to exciting and inclusive collaborations with organizations already cultivating resistance work. Many of our resistance partners are in ongoing struggles to secure their community land. They are determined to continue to provide land for community gathering, youth empowerment programs, local green space, and growing nutritious food. We hope that this is the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration. You are holding the last of a series of four zines – each features creative and educational content from local artists and our Resistance Garden partners.” -Painted Bride Program Committee
