About Rezbians

Growing up on the reservation, Selam lacked access to media that reflected her experiences as an Indigenous Queer woman. "Rezbians," a slice-of-life art comic, delves into the contemporary lives of two characters navigating young love on the rez. "Rezbians" is more than just a comic; it is a celebration of Indigenous culture and love, a reflection of personal experiences, and love of the self. Selam's aim for "Rezbians" is to create visibility of the everyday realities of Indigenous Queer/Two-Spirit people and the relationships they inhabit.

“About Risolana”

This limited edition artist comic book is the culmination of work created during Risolana’s 2023 Artist-in-Residence Program. The Risolana residency explores meditations on community, dialogue, and reflection and provides artists with hands-on support for learning how to print with a risograph machine. For more information visit, www.risolana.org

The Risolana Artist-in-Residence book program is supported by the AHS Fund at the Santa Fe Community Foundation, Partnership for Community Action, and bibliophiles like you.
