'Intimate Orientations' Zine Launch & Readings

A banner that says "Hard Black Love Potions from a Golden Glass" in red handwritten text, and "zine launch & readings. Sat. August 1, 3-5" in handwritten black text. The background are two of Deion Squires works from the exhibition. One is an excerpt from "how much a $ cost", and on the right is a portion of the photo "Beverly", which features a black woman with a red swimsuit, short and dark curly hair, and a pendant across her chest that says "Miss Doodoon Ramsaroop".
