Jo Stewart (she/her) is a poet and theater maker. She uses a combination of gesture, voice, and text to make performance that investigates entrapment, borders, and freedom. Using poetic texts as a model, her works diverge from linear storytelling traditions. Narratives unfold via a system of visual rhymes and repetition. Poetic devices acquire concrete dimensions: em-dashes are rendered as barriers, enjambed lines as windows. From the architecture of each story emerges spaces of captivity and the possibility of freedom. She looks to the dead, unborn, flora, and animal life as guides and protagonists in these stories. By asking these beings to speak through her work, she strives to free them from objecthood, thereby freeing herself from objectification and offering the radical imagining of a borderless world.
Childish Books (Cb) seeks to collect, celebrate, and create artist books and zine projects which could be enjoyed by a 'child audience', however defined. They care about making zine culture more available to children, and making the art and ideas of children more available in zine culture. Through interviews, reviews, publishing, and gatherings, they hope to generate a deeply playful readership and community. Follow them on social media at @childish.books.
