Acknowledgments
Thank you to all the writers who contributed their words and images to this anthology. Your ideas and insights are deserving of this platform, and of reaching expansive audiences.
We are grateful to Kio Griffith for transforming an idea into visual form, and creating an intricate rainbow orb web as cover art for the publication. Thanks to Danielle Hill for designing personal portraits of each contributor, to Cynthia Martínez Benavides and Carmen Lopez for their Spanish translations, and to Gerlie Collado for serving on the Editorial Committee.
This born-digital volume would not have been possible without the technical savvy, guidance, and cheerful support of the IOPN team: Mary Ton, Daniel Tracy, Alex Dryden, Heejoung Shin, Sam Tett, and Brenda Y. Flores Santiago.
How does one locate a land acknowledgment for a born-digital work that inhabits the Internet? Thank you mother earth and stratosphere!
Finally, thanks to you, dear readers. We hope that the experiences within this book inspire new ideas and connections that you will cultivate in your own lives and communities.
Et Al. is a testament to the power of collaboration. We set out to make a kaleidoscopic, justice-centered anthology showcasing myriad ways of asserting creative action through culture and the arts. We are pleased to share this work, and we are eager to see this web of connections expand and flourish in the years ahead.
