“Because if we don’t who will? So why not it be us?” Nicole Killian explains, quite simply, her drive for creating a second issue of Issues: Space. With their periodical Issues, graphic designers Nicole Killian and Sarah Faith Gottesdiener create a platform dedicated to women and queers, giving recognition and visibility to underrepresented artists. Issues merges genres of art, design, writing, music, poetry, and culture in the format of a book, “a tangible object, something to find, something to throw out, something to consider.” The book encompasses a variety of spaces: physical, butch, anti-capitalist, diasporic/immigrant, natural, penal, feminist, and digital, with the ultimate aim of reaching towards intersectionality through the mediation of design. This body of work is “real,” “uncensored,” “unmediated,” “very honest,” words all used by Killian and Gottesdiener. Their goal too, is earnest: “I just want people to see the artists in here because they are important.”
