The creative theme and writing prompt for this issue is “harm” or more specifically “harm reduction”. What sort of steps can we take as individuals, and as communities, to provide safety and resources for vulnerable folks? What preventative steps can we take to reduce harm and build resilience? We are all hurting. We’ve all commit harm. This is less about our individual grudges and victim-hood, and more about using skills and resources to get better and do better.
CW: sensitive topics covered in this issue include but not limited to – abuse, self-harm, drug use, sex, genocide. Contains graphic images.
The Northern Mirror is brought to you by:
The Red River Creatives Collective (RRCC) is a fluid, umbrella entity for the Northern MN and ND arts scene, operating out of the Fargo/Moorhead area. This is intended to be a community-driven organizing space focused on prioritizing and uplifting disenfranchised voices, and creating solidarity among creatives.
Through both print and online publication of The Northern Mirror we strive to create a platform for experimental and under-represented artists in all disciplines, as well as a way to disseminate information regarding community resources, and cultural and educational opportunities.
RRCC strives to be an unconventional, multi-disciplinary arts organization that does not conform to the status quo. Our work is the building up and promoting of creators without the oppressive and classist nature of institutions and mainstream arts sector. We aim for flexibility and the ability to adapt to our changing community needs.
