Titles published in 2025 include:

• Autistic Joy, KNOX ROXS, A Retrospective — this work builds on our six year collaboration with Artist, scholar, and badass mama, Jennifer White Johnson. It is a deep dive into autistic play and mothering on the spectrum.

• EVEN THE SCORE, ACADEMIA, VOL V — the homie house newspaper comes out every other year, this year we did a deep dive on the failures, harms, and flaws of higher education, and how we can radically imagine a safer more sustainable way to move through education.

• FUTURE FIRE — collectively investigate the harm we can no longer live within and to consider what must burn down in order to build beyond the cultural framework of white supremacy that we are all born into.

• BUNCH — a culmination / anthology of a two artist collaborative project, by Noura Tafeche and Caterina Ragg.

• SAMMYS JAPAN, three artists— Natsuki Nagai + Mei Otsubo + Kimiko Nakayama, joined forces to make a Japanese edition of a publication produced by Homie House Press, entitled Sammys, about the intersection of food and identity. Think of this as a funny and romantic cookbook.

• MY LAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ELUSIVE, a winding road of poems connected through heart ache, heart break, and break throughs, by poet and geographer, Seble Samuel.

• (NOT) IN SERVICE, by Unique Robinson (Community Arts Professor at MICA, Baltimore, MD), connects the dots from past selves to who they are today. This project is a deep dive into life as transport investigating identity, queerness and blackness.

’Do less harm with Santo Cards’

It’s a dark mystery, a vibrant dance, and a bewitched survival, that leads us to play. This has been the backbeat as we tied aspects of the five elements, santinos, playing cards, and funeral cards, to eachother in order too create a deck calling ancestors to life.

Santo Cards are meant to be a small sacred thing you keep on your person at all times; be it in your pocket, wallet, etc. They remind us of where we want to go during a global climate crisis, genocide of Palestine, and an ongoing pandemic, not to mention, the burning down of art institutions in academia and at large.. just to name a few.

May you return to the Santo Cards laying with wonder and embody the scenes and text.

Hello Sacred Spirit is available for purchase as a full deck (5 cards), or as singles.

God Save The Zine is a sentiment at the center of everything we do. We challenge the art world with the zine as an object and ethos. We chose this medium before we knew what it truly was, and we are grateful everyday for our intuition and gut responses that have brought us here. During a time when everything is burning down, and we have no certain future, God Save The Zine is about survival through rebellion.

We are thrilled to continue to grow in collaboration with Noura Tafeche, through the making of this plexiglass pin. We chose a corgi to reference the favorite breed of the deceased queen of England, to whom the chant was said - God Save The Queen. We take that saying and alter it to stand for everything the empire never will.

THIS TRANSFRONTERIZA LIFE is the first of a three-part-series of manifestos explaining the stance and purpose of Homie House Press. This first piece focuses on the space we so often talk about and find ourselves navigating through - the in-between.

It’s been three years since we launched our platform. We feel now is a good time to claim the space we have created and state clearly who we are, and why we are here. There are two more pieces in the process of being created. Check back here soon for the full series.

This Transfronteriza Life was created in Chicago, IL at the Blueprint Residency, on an architectural blueprinting machine. With each purchase of a poster, we will send you a small zine, made by the founder of the residency that highlights the story of our time spent making this very project. Jordan Knecht runs the residency from his home. To learn more about the residency, visit the website: www.jordanknecht.com/blueprint-residency

For the past six years, "Even The Score" has been the in-house newspaper at Homie House Press, set to come out every other year. The idea for this publication began as an opportunity to do a deep dive into a chosen topic and explore it in whatever medium/s serves it best. Since its debut, Even The Score has focused less on lens-based work and more on text and collaboration. This year is no different. The collaboration is centered around the flaws and failures of higher education/academia and engages with hope, connection, organizing, and reflecting through the experience of artists/educators and students nationally. Even the Score is a starting point, a manifesto, and a space to build from our needs and desires for safety within institutions that dehumanize and disregard faculty, staff, and students at many turns. This publication is the fifth volume in the newspaper's history. May this newspaper guide you toward clarity in a system that is opaque by design. Find all other volumes free for digital download at adrianastories.com/homiehousepress.

(Not) In Service is the second publication by Uni Q. Mical. Navigating transit and transition in their 20’s and 30’s in the city of Baltimore, their words are a rigorous practice of embodiment and an almighty prayer of buoyancy.

This project includes photographs from Baltimore native, Iya Simone, along with Uni’s family archived albums, google map images, and finally, some background images by our own, hhp native, Adriana Monsalve.

”poet, performer, professor from baltimore. sagittarius, all day.”

(Not) in Service is a chronicle of poetry written from 2017-2022, during a transitional period of Unique’s life in her late 20s-early 30s. Many of the poems were written while Unique was “in transit” on Baltimore’s public transportation, which she counted on for her entire life up until 2022 (when she officially became a motorist). Baltimore’s transit system, known locally as the MTA (Maryland Transit Administration), is a steady, yet often unpredictable system of buses, subway trains, and light rails, which close to 2 million commuters relied upon in 2022 alone.

The title of the zine, (Not) in Service, is derived from the MTA bus marquee in Unique’s youth, which frequently frustrated commuters who stood for lengthy time frames. This project is meant to portray an unflinching, eyewitness account of the city Unique calls home, and a vulnerable disclosure of her emotional spectrum in this transitory period. Moreover, the collection speaks to Unique’s artistic mission to shift the international narrative of Baltimore City, focusing on glimpses of moments often overshadowed by tales of violence and destruction.

This project is a celebration of five years of the glorious life of mobile installations made with balloons, entitled, Los Globos Artivistas, by Noura Tafeche, photographed by Caterina Ragg. 

It includes resource material, a research library, and inspiration to aid others in doing it themselves with their respective communities. This publication was made to be used as an educational tool in order to continue disrupting public space with a lighter-than-air rebellion. This work has been included in two international publications as well as numerous international exhibitions. 


BUNCH | ﻋﺼﺒﻴـة aims to disrupt public space, renovate the aesthetic of protest through cooperative creative methods, and unhinge conventions through a language of celebration merged with a political punch. It’s a dramatized, floating, ephemeral project, kept alive by constant movement, playfulness and falling forward.

Written by Nubia Yasin
with illustrations by Nadifah Abdul-Rasheed

The Blood and Body is a collection of poetry by multidisciplinary artist Nubia Yasin.

Family photos, surreal illustrations, and Yasin’s own unique voice as a self described First Generation Somali-Southern Belle combine to create a new world, one equipped with its own folklore and laws of physics.

With her poetry, Yasin crafts a world where babies are born from their mother’s throats. A world where a scorned lover can climb directly into her cheating husband’s chest…

…to see who has his heart now.

About Nubia—

Nubia Yasin is a Memphis born multidisciplinary artist who uses her craft to explore themes around shame, sex, love, and family, with an acute focus on the Black Femme experience. She often pulls from her family history as a first generation Somali-American living in the south to tell stories about Black womanhood and Black motherhood. Her work is imbued with a sense of spirituality, incorporating elements of Islam and Southern American Hoodoo.

This is her debut poetry collection. We are honored to bring this into the world with her. Please join us in celebration and support her efforts.

The Special Edition (50) includes a 7.5 x 7.5 inch poster in gold and brown risograph ink printed by our friends in Lancaster, Pennsyvlania, RISOLVE, in September of 2022.

by Xiao Ma (Smile)

Summer Home is an honest and tender view that challenges The Great American Roadtrip, usually done by white men with a camera. Since 2020, high levels of hate crimes have been targeted towards the Asian community, and unfortunately continue today. This is the backdrop in which the author, Xiao Ma (Smile) (all pronouns), did their roadtrip. This project came to life with diary entries, interview Q&As, an iphone, hindsight reflections, and two cameras. We invite you to hold space with them, as well as POCs of the past, present, and future; and follow Smile on their adventure through the US landscape of flowers, field notes, friends, and homeland.

This project was made by students, we appreciate your support in aiding us to continue doing this work for free.

This is an in-depth look at three stories from LGBTQ+ Cuban refugees who arrived in Miami in the 80’s on the Mariel Boatlift. Amy and Liz have done an incredible job of using archival images along with their own photography skills, writing, design, and interviewing; to bring this story to life with grace, dignity, and deep respect for their relatives and ancestral lineages. Representation is always important, and we are so honored to debut this project showcasing the lives of elder queers. We see you, we uplift you, we continue to learn and grow alongside you. Massive congrats to Amy and Liz, for bringing this into the world and for trusting us to be the vessel through which it crystalized.
