“These are my closest kin residing in Wuikinuxv village, Katit land, the land of the Hamatsa. My dad, Hema-jalas. My elder and good friend, Valerie. A guy with a bad reputation but a kind heart, Habagaci. A little one holding the space in the soft spot of my heart, Dorie. And her mother, Gluppy, my Kwakwaka’wakw sib.”

On the edge of Chinatown on Vancouver’s Eastside there is a huge skatepark hidden under an old overpass that’s scheduled to be torn down. But for now, it’s home to our cover star Ryme’s inclusive takeovers, calling for anyone who has otherwise felt the skatepark an intimidating place a safe space to learn, grow and garner a sense of community.
The inaugural issue features writing by Molly Randhawa, Cole Nowicki, Lynn Doan, Jo Billows and Dakota Fontaine. Illustrations by imogen moffatt, Serisa Fitz-James, Joy Kim and Hiller Goodspeed. Photography by Rachel Pick, Melanie Robinson, Kim Doan and Seasons of East Van.
