In this excerpt from her new book, You Are a Sacred Place: Visual Poems for Living in Climate Crisis, artist and climate activist Madeleine Jubilee Saito offers a quietly radical message of hope.
Friend of The Porch, Jasmin Pittman, says, “I love the way Madeleine represents a whole world of living things that work in tandem with each other to create a sense of communal presence and care, while also maintaining a sense of autonomous sovereignty. The art is quiet, soft, and invitational, almost like taking a deep breath to reorient the spirit around a deeper truth just thrumming beneath the surface. “
Madeleine Jubilee Saito is a cartoonist living on Duwamish land in Seattle, Washington.
