A Note from the Editors
Dear reader,
Thank you for joining us at the end of our Spring 2025 journey! Our magazine would not be here without our readers’ watchful eyes and our artists’ reckless, sensational work. In this issue, I hope you find exactly what you didn’t know you were looking for.
As in our Editor’s Note last semester, it is impossible to talk about art without feeling the letting of lifeblood in Gaza. As individuals in academia and the art world continue to disrupt and destroy the valuation systems which have determined whose voices are meaningful, relevant, and beautiful, Love & Squalor is learning each semester how to use our voice towards these goals.
So please, enjoy the fruits of Spring 2025’s labor, and get into the streets, speak the name Palestine, and put your milk money towards mutual aid.
A million thanks to our editorial team for bringing their hearts to each Sunday meeting, each event, each tedious task which turns into a magazine. And to our dear readers and contributors: thank you for being here. We find our voice through you.
With love (and no squalor),
Naomi
