Katherine Agard authored of colour (Essay Press), an experimental essay about color, hybridity, and art-making. It is a memoir of Agard's coming to North America and encountering binaries of black and white within global anti-blackness. It is a manifesto for an experience of color that embraces change: the prismatic, the perverse, and that which is wholly beyond categorization. Her interdisciplinary work is rooted in painting, performance, and writing. She holds an AB in Visual and Environmental Studies and Social Anthropology from Harvard College and an MFA in Writing from UC San Diego. KAA has received fellowships from Kimbilio, Lambda Literary, VONA/Voices, and Callaloo. She lives in San Francisco and is a dual citizen of Trinidad and Tobago and Ghana.

Mary-Kim Arnold is a writer, artist, and educator. She is the author of The Fish & The Dove: Poems (Noemi Press) and Litany for the Long Moment (Essay Press). A transnational, transracial Korean-born adoptee, her text and textile work explore themes of hybridity, dislocation, racial and cultural identity, and gender. She serves as Senior Editor for Collaborative & Cross-Disciplinary Texts at Tupelo Quarterly. A graduate of Vermont College of Fine Arts (MFA) and of Brown University (BA, MFA) and former faculty in Brown’s Nonfiction Writing Program, Mary-Kim currently serves as Interim Academic Dean at Vermont College of Fine Arts.
