    Special Issue: Ink For Iridescence Workshops

    May 5, 2026

    "Wait... didn't she say the magazine releases quarterly issues? Why is there a new one in my inbox already?"

    "Good gracious, I was planning to submit to the second issue, did I miss the deadline?!"

    Is that what you're thinking?

    Well, surprise, surprise! This is not Issue 2.

    This is a Special Issue for your perusal! And we are featuring...

    Dramatic flourish.

    All the work from the first two Ink For Iridescence Workshops!

    Every single piece, by everyone who participated. Plus, we've included translations so you can enjoy these honest reflections.

    Wait. Hang on. What is Ink For Iridescence? Put simply, they are writing and art events for a change.

    We've partnered with Sakhi Trust to spotlight the brilliant young artists of Hosapete, children who rarely get a chance to showcase their work. This issue is the first in a series where we will be solely featuring the work of neurodivergent, differently-abled, and non-English speaking kids.

    So... what are you waiting for?

    Dive in!

    Read the Special Issue!


    A Note of Gratitude

    To my incredible Editorial Board (Aanyaa, Kyle, and Havish), Sakhi Trust, our Adult Advisory Board, and contributors: Thank you. We did this together. We built something that matters.
