👋 Meet the Artists:
Keren Alfred is an artist and environmentalist. Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, she often says that her interest in the environment is in her blood. She received an MFA in Book Arts at the University of Iowa’s Center for the Book where she specialised in papermaking, letterpress printing, and calligraphy. Her artwork builds on her environmental background and explores aspects of her identity as a Black woman from the Caribbean learning to resist and heal from oppressive systems. Her hope is to create art that cultivates joy, growth, and care.
Sophia Li is a Boston-based lifestyle, food, and travel photographer driven by a passion for authentic storytelling and slow living. Having navigated multiple chronic health conditions since childhood, she's developed a deep fascination for holistic wellness and the power of food as medicine. She loves exploring the relationships between culture, environment, and our daily choices—ranging from what we eat and buy to how we spend our free time. Through photography, she strives to create images that inspire people to engage with their everyday surroundings in novel and meaningful ways. When not behind the camera, you'll likely find her volunteering on organic farms, obsessing over dried flowers and ceramics, or on a quest to discover the best gluten-free pastry within a twenty-mile radius.
