“Emerge” is a platform for artists, writers, and organizers who are imagining possible futures. It celebrates the in-between moments, while asserting that the emerging can occur at any age and at any pace. This action, unlike appearing, carries some remnant of the past, and it evokes a visceral movement, proclaiming an expectation of the future. We believe that the term implies humility, but also potential, something that you’ll see in the pages of this issue.
