About Our Speakers
Ruby T is an artist, educator, and organizer. Her work is an experiment in translating fantasy to reality, and she is fueled by anger, desire, and magic.

She has exhibited and performed at Western Exhibitions, Roots & Culture, and Iceberg Projects in Chicago; Hales Gallery in New York; and Bass & Reiner in San Francisco. Her comics and illustrations have been published by Half Letter Press, and are in the collection of the Thomas J Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She lives and works in Provincetown, MA on Nauset and Wampanoag land.
Tracy Fuad’s second book of poetry, PORTAL, won the 2023 Phoenix Emerging Poets Prize and was published in 2024 by the University of Chicago Press. Her first collection was chosen by Claudia Rankine as the 2020 winner of the Donald Hall Prize and was published in 2021. A 2022 National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, Fuad’s poems have appeared in The Paris Review, The Yale Review and The New Republic and elsewhere. She lives in Berlin, where she teaches poetry and directs the Berlin Writers’ Workshop.
