Community Embodied is all about our interpersonal experiences and how our bodies experience community and the world around us. Be that queerness, dance or our physical reactions to the political climate.

Throughout this issue, you will also find various works of graffiti and collage all sourced from Leeds location. This exhibition of sorts seeks to ground the global voices present here in the local and acts as a taste of the hidden poetry within Leeds queer spaces. An insight into the anger, love, softness, and rebellion that sits anonymous our the walls- written for us and by us; creating a dialogue to converse and hold community with strangers. Thank you to our contributors who have shared new insights and perspectives, and have trusted us with your words.

We are so excited to share with you the amazing creative work we have the privilege of publishing. Enjoy!
